In recent weeks, protests calling for police and criminal justice reform continue to sweep the Untied States. These demonstrations have also spurred conversations surrounding flawed, racially-biased technologies used by law enforcement agencies, namely facial-recognition systems.

In recent years, police forces have developed quite the appetite for facial recognition technology with massive federal databases dedicated to these efforts. It's been estimated that about one-in-two US adults are logged in one law enforcement facial recognition network, according to a Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law report.

Hacking war is on with Iran, China or NorthKorea

Concerning facial recognition, here is the study they refer to:

A 2019 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) study found that facial recognition algorithms are woefully riddled with flaws overall. Minority groups including Asians and African Americans had higher false positives in one-to-one matching. At times, these false-positives increased by a factor of up to 100 for these groups. The report also discovered gender biases, as African American females had a higher rate of false positives for one-to-many matching datasets.

I wish you a great sunday mate !
