Re: Innocent woman jailed after being misidentified using AI facial recognition
#22There's no way this isn't a slam dunk case to sue the piss out of the Fargo Police, probably the US Marshals and maybe other orgs. The woman in the surveillance phone clearly looks way younger, among the many other obvious signs this woman didn't do it. I hope she wrings at least several million dollars out of the government.
imho the US Marshals are the only innocent party here, as my understanding is they don't do investigations and just serve warrants without any knowledge of the underlying case.

#23I hate this headline (not blaming submitter). Police incompetence and negligence jailed her for months and left her stranded in a North Dakota winter. The AI is no more responsible than the cars and airplanes they used. Edit: this is in reference to the original headline "AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case" not the revised title that it was changed to.

I think you actually agree with the GP? As I understand them, they're saying that it's not the AI tool that takes the most blame, it's the police.
Re: Innocent woman jailed after being misidentified using AI facial recognition
#24Completely infuriating, but more of a commentary on the sad state of incompetent power-hungry law enforcement with tools they don't know how to use than the tools themselves. Though, the question remains: are the tools built in such a way as to deceive the user into a false sense of trust or certainty? _Some_ of the blame lies on the UX here. It must.
It must land as human's fault or this will become more and more of a pattern to avoid accountability.

And the police were wrong, which is why they're the culpable ones.

With all the lovely qualified immunity doctrine? That's wishful thinking.
That may protect them personally, but not the city and the department itself from being sued.

Criminal immunity? Sure. Civil immunity? Nope! She could definitely make a nice buck.

#28Why the fuck does a newspaper need a ‘notifications’ icon in the top right hand corner?

A jury will probably decide the AI company's level of responsibility at trial. It is an open question til then!

Off of taxpayer money sadly. Imo we really need a fix for this. When cops are grossly negligent the money should come out of their aggregate pension fund (or at least partially).
