Was this AI trained on an unbalanced data set? (Only black folks?) Or has it only been used to identify photos of black people? I have so many questions: some technical, some on media sensationalism

    I thought they would have trained it on mugshots. Either way, it should never be used to make direct arrests. I feel like it’s best use would be something like an anonymous tip line that leads to investigation.

      Using mugshots to train AI without consent feels illegal. Plus, it wouldn’t even make a very good training set, as the AI would only be able to identify perfectly straight images shot in ideal lighting conditions.
