Guilty until proven innocent: shoppers falsely identified by facial recognition system struggle to clear their names

People shamed and ordered to leave shops after being misidentified then ‘given no help’ to investigate verdicts

As facial recognition spreads across police forces and retail stores, UK biometrics commissioners are warning that national oversight is lagging far behind the technology’s rapid expansion.

Last year, the Home Office admitted facial recognition cameras were more likely to incorrectly identify black and Asian people than their white counterparts, and women more than men, and there have been conflicting studies on their overall accuracy.

    I suppose all we can do is refuse to shop in the stores that use this. But, we need to do it now. Because, soon, every store will use this, and we won’t have a choice.

    I suppose if they keep getting false positives, they’ll make some change, but who knows?

            Isn’t the cable underground? How do I find it? How do I know which one is it? How do I access it? How do I do it without anyone noticing?
