Wrongfully arrested by algorithm
In January, a man in Michigan was arrested in front of his children and held in jail for 30 hours because of a false match made by facial-recognition software. The chilling story puts a spotlight on how easily the flimsy safeguards for such technology can fail — especially for Black men. “I strongly suspect this is not the first case to misidentify someone to arrest them for a crime they didn’t commit,” says face-recognition legal scholar Clare Garvie. “This is just the first time we know about it.”
