Reply to comment by Uriah1024 in Facial recognition's rapid adoption exposes alarming pitfalls by Gari_305

I’m sure there were cases of mistaken identity before facial recognition.

I think I read something that the guy in question would have still been mistaken with old school people looking at photos.

The real test is, is there more or less mistaken identity with new tech vs old?

This tech greatly increases the size of the net that catches people. It does not double check itself. People must do that. Nobody wants to hire humans. They're expensive and only want to work 40 hours a week. So more work is created, but there's no humans to take care of it. I expect jails to fill up, but there to not be enough judicial resources to deal with it.

This man might have been falsely recognized if he stepped into a police bureau or somewhere similar, not at the airport or any other place with facial recognition cameras.
