Facial recognition software has always had trouble telling Black people apart, yet police departments are still using it.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

    This is so predictable. Me and many others predicted this would happen years ago. They didn’t train it on black faces well enough.

      It doesn’t help that photography historically had (and still has?) a problem with dark skin.

      The lesson that technology isn’t neutral by definition is one that we would do well to heed with all this machine learning going on.
