    Counter-point: You don’t get to scrape my face to feed it into a settler-written algorithm that can’t be trusted to not misidentify the faces of my race; and you especially don’t get to expect I won’t thwart those attempts every time I have to leave my house. My consent to that is not given, and unfortunately, I don’t have a choice in whether or not I have to leave my house sometimes.

      Those are both fantastic, but separate issues.

      The effectiveness of any individual AI is separate from the ethics of the concept generally. Any specific implementation might not be reliable enough to depend on. That would have to be a discussion for each implementation. Perhaps a discussion of the reliability threshold any implementation would need to meet, in order to be used.

      Also, another’s right to photograph and identify you while in public, is entirely separate from, and doesn’t effect, your right to try to conceal your identity.

      Even both of those don’t touch the issue of keeping your image, and using your likeness to improve the AI product. (Which is something literally all of them ignore, along with every other copyright issue.) Since you didn’t give them the rights to use your likeness for that (or any) purpose, it would be unethical and already illegal for them to do so.
