AI facial recognition led to 8-month pregnant woman's wrongful carjacking arrest in front of kids: lawsuit

FOX News

Fox News correspondent Gillian Turner has the latest on the president's focus amid calls for an impeachment inquiry on "Special Report." Six police officers swarmed Porcha Woodruff's Detroit home before 8 a.m. one morning in February while she was getting her 12- and 6-year-old kids ready for school, the federal lawsuit says. "I have a warrant for your arrest, step outside," one of the officers told Woodruff, who initially thought it was a joke, according to the lawsuit. Officers told her she was being arrested for robbery and carjacking. Do you see that I am eight months pregnant?"


AI's facial recognition failures: Three times crime solving intelligence got it wrong

FOX News

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' Law enforcement's use of artifical intelligence-driven facial recognition puts everyone into what one expert called a "perpetual police line-up," and studies show it's more likely the finger will be pointed at the wrong person if they're Black or Asian. "Whenever they have a photo of a suspect, they will compare it to your face," said Matthew Guariglia, from the nonprofit digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation, told the BBC. The technology's use in police investigations boomed in recent years, particularly after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Twenty out of 42 federal agencies that were surveyed by the Government Accountability Office in 2021 reported they use facial recognition in criminal investigations.


Facial Recognition Failure? DHS Passenger Face Scanning Program Expansion Should Stop, Senators Say

International Business Times

Facial recognition systems used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security make "frequent mistakes," a report from Georgetown Law's Center on Privacy and Technology released on Thursday said. The report "Not Ready For Takeoff," which comes before the holiday traveling rush, criticizes the DHS' biometric exit pilot program. The program uses facial recognition technology to verify travelers' identities as they leave the country. The biometric exit program is currently running in nine U.S. airports and has already scanned tens of thousands of travelers. Homeland Security plans on expanding the program next year to all of the country's biggest airports.
