Don’t confuse high profile false positives for overall efficacy

  Face recognition on dark people is well known to be inaccurate.

    This has definitely been the case with commercial offerings do to limitations in the training data, but the application here is obviously using photos of people in the population they're trying to do recognition in for training. It's probably better than off the shelf tools for this application.

      If they'd have the person they are looking for, to take a picture… they wouldn't need face recognition. Their problem is that they don't. Plus, training takes so much time. I doubt they will actually do what you are suggesting.

        Stating the impossibility of successfully using facial recognition on Mediterranean people is a weird claim to make in a technical form. Do you have any citations showing that Mediterranean and Near Eastern people present particular problems for facial recognition?
