The software had her daughter at a 97% match. This is what we looked at, not the thumbnail photos Ms Robinson took a picture of, if there was a mistake, we apologize for that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The girl\u2019s parents said they\u2019re considering legal action against the rink.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sadly_we_shouldnt_be_surprised\"><\/span>Sadly, we shouldn\u2019t be surprised<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facial recognition is notoriously prone to errors and biases. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/s3.documentcloud.org\/documents\/2850196\/Face-Recognition-Performance-Role-of-Demographic.pdf\">Numerous<\/a><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nvlpubs.nist.gov\/nistpubs\/ir\/2019\/NIST.IR.8280.pdf\">studies<\/a> have demonstrated that the software discriminates on race and gender, with Black women <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/proceedings.mlr.press\/v81\/buolamwini18a.html\">particularly vulnerable<\/a> to the biases.<\/p>\n<p>The errors have already led to wrongful arrests.
