Amazon’s facial recognition matched 28 members of Congress to criminal mugshots - The Verge
'That finding echoes disparities found by NIST’s Facial Recognition Vendor Test, which has shown consistently higher error rates for facial recognition tests on women and African-Americans. '
'The American Civil Liberties Union tested Amazon’s facial recognition system — and the results were not good. '
'Running faces against a database with no matches might seem like a recipe for failure, but it’s similar to the conditions that existing facial recognition systems face every day. '
'Only twenty percent of current members of Congress are people of color, which indicates that false-match rates affected members of color at a significantly higher rate. '
'Amazon’s Rekognition came to prominence in May, when an ACLU report showed the system being used by a number of law enforcement agencies, including a real-time recognition pilot by Orlando police. '
