Amazon’s facial recognition matched 28 members of Congress to criminal mugshots - The Verge

Amazon’s facial recognition matched 28 members of Congress to criminal mugshots - The Verge: The test also showed indications of racial bias, a long-standing problem for many facial recognition systems. 11 of the 28 false matches misidentified people of color (roughly 39 percent), including civil-rights leader Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and five other members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
