  1. People are rightly going to read the @ACLU test of @amazon's facial recognition software #Rekognition as another example of AI reproducing societal biases.

      But we should also realize that there are inherent limits to the notion of facially recognizing individuals.

        It's a highly dubious claim that there are 300 million, or 7 billion faces that are recognizably different by humans. Your face may not be a unique identifier.

          Moreover, mood, action, posing, angle, lighting, body modification, makeup, weight change, and aging all change your face.

            Any system that can reliably distinguish 300M individual Americans probably thinks you are a different person than who you were last year, or were in a different mood.

              As I noted for so-called gay facial recognition last year, the false positives are likely such a big problem for face recognition AI that they will swamp the dystopia possibilities.

                And that's assuming they can move beyond the stage of just being computerized racial/social profiling.
