Then people have to relearn, but it is not the fault of the algorithm.
False identifications by humans happen a lot, too. I think it used to be an especially big issue for black people.
Like if a black person commits a crime, and police does a lineup for a witness to identify the culprit, they would just point to the one black person in the lineup and think they did it. Surely computers can at least do as good as that, probably better.
