Isn't face recognition just going to be inherently rly less reliable on darker skinned people? Their features would certainly have less contrast on darker skin, no?
Why not expose pictures longer to get better features of darker skinned people and less accurate of lighter skinned people, leading to more false arrests of lighter skinned people?
And remove the convenient excuse to harass black people? These are cops we're talking about.
Doesn't the fact that a technology is fundamentally discriminatory mean we should question the use of that technology? Not just shrug our shoulders and say too bad?
Shouldn't use it at all, but the tech isn't intentionally malicious, just a fact of the tech.
Exposure is a dial, not a technology. People are choosing to use it this way.
Hell of a lot easier when its a white dude on a dark background than a black dude on a dark background. The technology is just not being used in the way it should be.
yes
