Flawed Facial Recognition
Porcha Woodruff, an aesthetician and nursing student, was preparing her children for school when she was arrested for carjacking based on facial recognition.
The only problem? She was innocent.
According to a Georgetown University study, despite its advancements, AI has shown a disproportionate bias and error regrading the misidentification of Black and Asian individuals.
Biased AI Impacting Lives
Six known individuals, all Black, have been wrongly accused due to incorrect facial recognition matches resulting in the loss of jobs, scholarships and freedom.
Detroit's former Police Chief mentioned a staggering 96% misidentification rate if facial recognition was solely relied upon.
Overdependence on AI can lead to investigation biases, sidelining other potential leads.
One example is Michael Williams, who was wrongfully arrested for murder based on an AI-driven ShotSpotter alert.
“Cases like Ms. Woodruff’s and Mr. Williams highlight the dangers of law enforcement’s over reliance on AI technology, including an unfounded belief that such technology is a fair and objective processor of data.”
The Question
How can we ensure a balance between leveraging AI advancements for criminal investigations and safeguarding the rights of innocent individuals?
