Anyone catch this? It used a new facial recognition software
that turned out to be faulty (identified the wrong person
who was then murdered while in police custody). The problem
was the software didn't properly handle dark skinned people.
DUH! Any programmer today would know about those things,
heck, a lot of programmers these days are dark skinned
themselves.

Odd, the government and casinos have had such software for years.
Maybe the Chicago PD shouldn't use cheap crap software.

It's a fictional Television Program.

It is true, you may google and find out when this did happen. Not with
the results on the episode, but yes, they noticed the AI had problems
distinguishing other races. Happened to Google Photos itself. They were
accused of racism. 2015. I have found a link at the BBC in Spanish, you
go search it in English ;-)

Before fingerprinting was developed, the criminal justice
system developed sophisticated appearance detectors. But
they discovered that people could very similar, which
fingerprinting avoided.
I remember when a friend telephoned and told me to turn on
the TV as he was on. I did so and it was a video of
CCTV of a suspect. It did look just like my friend,
even the same coat. Fortunately my friend wasn't picked up.

Fingerprinting dates back to Babylon and as a Western police technique
has been in use from about 1900 on. I question what sort of
"sophisticated appearance detectors" could be made with the technology
available prior to 1900.

I tried to Google it. I can't seem to find it.
