Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous results.
Macy’s, Sunglass Hut, Rite-Aid… We need a website with a list of the companies that falsely accuse their visitors of crimes. The public needs to know the dangers of shopping at these places.
Also, AI should be excluded as evidence of a crime. The results of any form of AI analysis should be forbidden in probable cause statements.
Fuck that, i want a list of all stores deploying facial recognition. I’ll take my money elsewhere, fuck you very much.
Agreed. If a store uses facial recognition, it can only be to falsely accuse their visitors of crimes. The only possible outcomes of facial recognition are unreliable results and false accusations.
