Are you assuming there isn't a fallback? That's a big assumption if so

  I would assume that as soon as it's introduced, the agents in charge of fallback will be lazy, as has already been proven from numerous reports of people (mostly black) being arrested from a false positive in facial recognition[1] [1] https://apnews.com/article/mistaken-arrests-facial-recognition-technology-lawsuits-b613161c56472459df683f54320d08a7 https://apnews.com/article/mistaken-arrests-facial-recogniti...

  It depends on what it is. We've already seen situations where police arrested someone based on a facial recognition system incorrectly identifying someone. So, where's the supposed fallback in your opinion? We've seen stories out of NYC where landlords have installed facial rec to access to tenants that didn't go so well. I can't remember if traditional key access was still available or not, but you could see where that would go bad if not.

  The issue isn’t “is there a fallback” it’s “there is incredible bias in who has to use those fallbacks, who has to schedule trips allowing for that fallback, and who gets erroneously subjected to false imprisonment”. If all people regardless of race, gender, or appearance were equally subject to the need to use the fallback then there would be less of an issue. But so far every commercial facial recognition program has demonstrated bias such that false positives and false negatives are much more common for PoC.
