(Representational Pic)A woman in the US was falsely arrested and because of facial recognition technology while she was eight months pregnant, according to New York Times (NYT). She told NYT that she was kept there for 11 hours, questioned about a crime she had no clue about and had her iPhone confiscated. "I was hurting, sitting on those concrete benches," Ms Woodruff told NYT. The robbery victim told the police that he met a woman on January 29 last year and had sexual intercourse with her. On an average, it runs 125 facial recognition searches a year, almost entirely on black men, the outlet further said.
