Expert rejects Met police claim that study backs bias-free live facial recognition use
The Metropolitan Police's claims that their use of live facial recognition (LFR) is bias-free are not supported by the report they cite, according to a leading expert on the technology. The police plan to use LFR extensively at the upcoming Notting Hill Carnival, but the expert says the sample size in the report was too small to conclude that the new sensitivity guidelines have removed racial, gender, or age bias. The expert's critique suggests that the Met's assertions about the technology's fairness may not be justified, raising concerns about the potential for bias in its deployment at the carnival and other events.
