Completely glossed over in the article is the most important point: the ACLU rigged the results. How is it that the ACLU gets a pass at being technically challenged?!
“an Amazon spokesperson attributed the results to poor calibration. The ACLU’s tests were performed using Rekognition’s default confidence threshold of 80 percent — but Amazon says it recommends at least a 95 percent threshold for law enforcement applications where a false ID might have more significant consequences.”
