I am from Brazil.

On the first day of trials of deep-learning based facial recognition here, a random person was arrested because the algorithm confused that person with another one.

Even more stupid, is that the person with "outstanding warrant" was actually ALREADY in prison.

So yes, AI managed to arrest the same person, twice, one time the real person, one time a random look-alike.

Seems like a different situation - the facial recognition algo was wrong. Not the same as an AI resolving a face that resembles someone and then prosecuting that person on the basis of the image.

You realize that the idea is the same, right? AI made an incorrect determination and people ran with it.

You do understand the difference between arrest and prosecution? People are arrested on the basis of a weak mistaken identity all the time, no AI needed
