Empirical data on facial recognition technology and
Hello list, I'm writing a FAQ on facial recognition technology, and would like to address the question of the real utility of the currently available technology in solving crimes for law enforcement. I see lots of anecdotal evidence about it helping make arrests, but haven't seen anything more quantitative. We may just be too early on, but has anyone seen a study address this? Thank you.
This NYT piece is a good start and has links to other investigations : https://static.nytimes.com/email-content/PRIV_sample.html

Hi Matt, In the UK, as part of the two largest police trials of AFR systems, both commissioned independent reports from academics - links to the pdf's below for Cardiff and London Met Police. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57875c16197aea2902e3820e/t/5bdafb4403... https://48ba3m4eh2bf2sksp43rq8kk-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/... Both reports highlight challenges based on the trials, particularly that the AFR vendor appears to be overclaiming the accuracy of systems Cheers Chris On Fri, Feb 21, 2020 at 1:01 AM Matt Seraph <hexathelidae@gmail.com> wrote:

I'd recommend the work of the Georgetown Center on Privacy and Technology, which has done a lot of helpful work on use of Facial Recognition in policing: https://www.law.georgetown.edu/privacy-technology-center/publications/. best, Harris On Fri, Feb 21, 2020 at 4:27 AM Chris Foster <cgfoster@gmail.com> wrote:
