Die Polizei von Essex unterbricht den Einsatz von Gesichtserkennungskameras, nachdem eine Studie rassistische Vorurteile festgestellt hat

“If you’re an offender passing facial recognition cameras which are set up as they have been in Essex, the chances of being identified as being on a police watchlist are greater if you’re black

that seems like a weird one, its correctly identifying people on watchlists but has an easier time recognising black people? did i read that correctly?

Not exactly new news here, the racial bias has been known for quite some time. What’s puzzled me is how it got rolled out here without that ever being properly addressed.

It’s a small win, but I appreciate that they rolled it back at least…

Now I hope they proceed to abandon the project, and not attempt a second roll out.
