article: "computer facial recognition in New Orleans has low effectiveness"

What do you expect when they all look alike?

[Drew68]

"Wholly ineffective..."

And then five paragraphs down...

"Although it has not led to any false arrests..."

“Arrested offenders in New Orleans are almost exclusively black males from impoverished communities: in 2011, 97% were black and 95% were male; 91% of victims were black as well”

If AI is so effective that it can eliminate the human race then how come it’s so stupid it thinks all people of certain races look alike?

Can’t distinguish between Nicole Ari Parker who was on Chicago PD and Whoopi Goldberg? Not smart.

“...disproportionately used on Black people.....”

that may be true for facial ID, and it is also true about prison population. The statement is also true about those who commit crimes. The published FBI statistics clearly record most crime is committed by the black population.

“… is disproportionately used on Black people...”

They commit 90% of crime in Nola.

A year after the system went online, data show that the results have been almost exactly the opposite. Records obtained and analyzed by POLITICO show that computer facial recognition in New Orleans has low effectiveness, is rarely associated with arrests and is disproportionately used on Black people.

So are they claiming that someone is choosing to intentionally use it more on blacks?
