  • TLDR:

    In 2018, a man in a baseball cap stole thousands of dollars worth of watches from a store in central Detroit.

    The AI was trained on a database of mostly white people The photos of people of colour in the dataset were generally of worse quality, as default camera settings are often not optimised to capture darker skin tones.

    Mr Williams’ photo didn’t come up first. In fact, it was the ninth-most-probable match.

    Regardless…

    Officers drove to Mr Williams’ house and handcuffed him.

    They arrested him in front of his five and two-year-old kids…


    Ai with bad training data + lazy cops who didn’t learn how to use the tools they were given = this mess








  • Something you may have not noticed about AppOps is that you can use it to give fake permissions to the apps so they think that they have a permission but when they try to actually use that permission they don’t get any data from the API.

    I personally think that the added attack-surface is worth it for the functionality it provides.
