ICE doesn't give a shit about false positives. They are already using a facial recognition app as definitive proof of someone's immigration status, even when they are shown documentation such as a birth certificate. They don't care if it's accurate, they just want targets.

After all, the AI is smarter than all humans combined, who can argue with its wisdom? Expect "The AI told me to do it" to be tried as a defense at Nuremburg 2.0
- datsci_est_2015 9mo agoThis is the correct question to be asking, but maybe not for the reason you thought. AI is an incredible tool for shifting liability and manufacturing plausible deniability, which appears to be exceedingly useful for authoritarian regimes around the world. Not just externally (i.e. in media), but internally as well (Ender’s Game: shoot the guy the computer says is bad, never give mind to whether or why he’s bad).
