Differences:

1. Wanted posters were only hung up based on human witness reports and for a very limited number of suspects. With face recognition, you can hunt automatically for hundreds who happened to be around a specific place at the wrong time.

2. Reach, and therefore likelihood of false-positive face matches.

3. Investigators wouldn’t blindly believe a random community member reporting a match, they would check if the reported suspect really matches the description and the circumstances. With face recognition and AI, people tend to just assume that the computer is correct.

I think it’s notable that your first point is directly in line with GP’s idea about built inefficiencies.
