New York failed to detect faces with Face Recognition technology
The government tried implementing a facial recognition system that could potentially spot terrorist faces while on Robert. F Kennedy bridge. Wall Street Journal reported a massive failure where the system couldn’t even detect a single face “within acceptable parameters” driving through the bridge.
Facial recognition is already a privacy concern when it’s put right into a bridge where millions of people travel around. The system is really disturbing for privacy lawyers and the actions might get activated soon. Also, the system hasn’t really worked well enough to spot a single face (including a terrorist).
Probably, the face recognition system will be redesigned to derive more accuracy and spotting. Primarily, a system like this shouldn’t really affect the lives of people due to inaccuracy and detection issues. Spotting a wrong person due to system inaccuracy could really bring more troubles to the government.
