βοΈEssex police shut down their live facial recognition cameras because they were catching too many black people
At the same time, they admitted the cameras rarely picked up anyone who wasn't already on the watchlist.
The system was accurate. They just didn't like the results.
A study found the system was "statistically significantly more likely" to correctly identify black people than other ethnicities. Also "more likely" to spot men than women.
So they're now updating the algorithm to detect without 'bias'. π

βοΈPokΓ©mon Go creator Niantic used 30 billion images crowdsourced from players to build a map for AI training and visual positioning capabilities, including for defense purposes.
143 million people spent 8 years scanning streets, parks, and storefronts with their cameras. None of them knew what they were contributing to.
Niantic is now using that data for questionable purposes.
