AI, at it again.
AI can be very useful, the problem here is humans trusting it to be accurate all the time.
In this case it should be used to narrow down results, but even then the police need to do their job. They need to do an actual investigation to gather evidence that they have the right person before even attempting to make am arrest.
Even removing AI from the picture entirely doesn't solve this problem. Just look at wrongful arrests that have been made simply because a wanted criminal has the exact same name as someone else.
Uncritical copaganda from NYT again. These changes are...fine, but don't get at the inherent risks of police surveillance and biometrics.
OT: my man in the thumbnail looks like Homer Simpson backing into that bush tho fr
OCP
You know how I know Robocop is a work of impossible science fiction?
Look at his prime directives.
Does that sound like any cop in the U.S.?
