Angela Lipps spent nearly six months in jail in Tennessee and North Dakota after being misidentified by Fargo police through AI facial recognition in a bank fraud investigation.
Yes, the vendors share part of the blame.
The AI doesn’t.
Edit for clarification: AI can’t share any blame. It’s a computer program.
The company that makes it is fully responsible for what it does, and the cops are responsible for believing its output over actual proof.
You’ve completely missed the point. Nobody is saying that AI is fine and trustworthy.
How do you propose to punish software? How are you going to compel compensation, retribution, or justice from a computer program? It’s not possible. Nor should one even try - because it wasn’t AI that arrested her, it wasn’t AI that left her in jail for months, it wasn’t AI that fucked her over. It was cops that trusted shitty AI.
AI sucks - nobody in this thread is arguing against that. There’s lots of shitty software, though. The problem with AI is that is that those in power are trusting people’s lives with it and people are getting fucked because of it. If you’re focusing on the software, you’re excusing the cops.

You completely, utterly misunderstood my comment.

Your lack of imagination is sad.
