Ultimately it's an empirical question, and unless someone has published the research, you and I will not be able to know for sure. I think there will be a lot of cases where two people simply look a lot alike, and any observer would have difficulty distinguishing them.
No, evidence suggests they are not. We're all very aware of the horror stories of AI misidentifying species. Different AI systems are different, but in general AI seems to make quite different classes of mistakes from humans. Our brains work very differently from current statistical models.
So human review absolutely adds accuracy, you can generally assume. And it adds human-accountable judgment which is just as important.
