It is obvious unless you are talking 5 faces that AI learned vs 5 faces that human really learned.

Otherwise AI is scalable and can recognize millions of faces.

So when it comes to even tiny recognition for safety or security - it doesn't matter how good are humans at recognizing a few faces they can remember.

Your comment exemplifies my point. You have a hidden bias, which is why you used the word "obvious".

The metric that is used is extremely important. If the metric is "identify lots of faces" then AI is superior. If "identity faces correctly" is the metric, then it is far from certain or obvious that an AI is superior to a human.
