Wrongfully Jailed by an Algorithm: AI Facial Recognition's Misidentification Crisis

At least eight innocent people—nearly all Black—have been wrongfully arrested because police trusted AI facial recognition systems that government studies show misidentify darker-skinned faces at rates 10 to 100 times higher than white faces. The crisis isn't the technology alone; it's the institutional trust placed in documented bias.
