    I find this funny because the police have been doing this with civilians. My main concern is that this tech is not 100% accurate. I feel like it shouldn’t be used on its own.

    I guess if it is used as a supplementary tool and not the main piece of evidence, it could maybe be okay? But I would be scared it would target an innocent individual, which could cause very negative or dangerous consequences. The main thing would be accuracy. I don’t know if it was addressed as part of the article is paywalled.

    Edit: I think anything that forces those in power to take accountability for their actions is great though. More tools should be in place to prevent abuse of power

      I’m miles away from AI, so this may be me talking out of my ass, but shouldn’t a smaller database (thousands) be more accurate than anything orders of magnitude larger?
