Reply to comment by MonkeeSage in NY AG wants answers on Madison Square Garden's use of facial recognition against legal opponents by Sorin61

If 90% of the false positives are people of color or women that's still a problem. Imagine you are going to an event at MSG & get stopped by security b/c of a false positive. Security usually isn't very nice to someone they suspect of being a problem. Being stopped by security for any reason can ruin an evening, and that's before you factor in intoxication or other factors.

There aren’t any false positives AFAIK, just false negatives, AKA darker skinned folks don’t get a match at all.

What prevents a human security guard from misidentifying a woman or person of color when they are using their own eyes looking at a cctv screen and comparing against a list of people who are not allowed? The AI training data being potentially biased toward being able to better identify white males is based on training data from humans.
