Cops pause use of flawed AI cameras secretly monitoring streets for suspects

Flawed AI? The real issue with AI is that many people expect it to be infallible. Even when AI performs better than humans, there is a tendency to believe it should be perfect. AI models can never achieve 100% accuracy; however, they often outperform humans and can provide greater visibility of an area than relying on good Samaritans. Face and object recognition systems return percentage matches based on a threshold you set. It’s essential to find a balance between minimizing false positives and avoiding missed matches, which is something that is challenging to achieve with human identification. Therefore, a secondary method of identification will always be necessary, regardless of the technology or people used.
