In every reported case where police mistakenly arrested someone using facial recognition, that person has been Black - eviltoast
Facial recognition software has always had trouble telling Black people apart, yet police departments are still using it.

Was this AI trained on an unbalanced data set? (Only black folks?) Or has it only been used to identify photos of black people? I have so many questions: some technical, some on media sensationalism

    I think it is come systematic racism. AI didn’t arrest this person, police officers did. They did no further investigation before making the arrest because they didn’t have to: the person has black skin. Case closed.
