Image Recognition
Artificial intelligence-powered facial recognition wrongfully pinpointed an eight-month pregnant woman for a violent carjacking, according to a lawsuit. AI'S FACIAL RECOGNITION FAILURES: 3 TIMES CRIME-SOLVING INTELLIGENCE GOT IT WRONGWoodruff, 32, who was living with her fiance and two kids, was implicated as a suspect through a photo lineup shown to the victim "following an unreliable facial recognition match," the lawsuit says. Previous AI wrongful arrests in DetroitBefore the wrongful arrest of Woodruff, who is Black, Detroit police arrested two Black men named Robert Williams and Michael Oliver, which became highly publicized cases. There are other cases like this across the country, including the wrongful arrest of a Black Georgia woman for purse thefts in Louisiana.
