For the most part the hype around "AI" is just annoying, but here it's actually dangerous. I don't expect most police officers would know or care that this is not a precise and accurate technology, if it gives them a quick and easy way to find and arrest suspects.
It does the same thing they do already, it just gives them plausible deniability.
Yep just passes the blame further down the line on and obscures the being acting and their racial biases.
I'm an AI enthusiast, but id be the first to say that whoever greenlights a system with such obvious bias issues for something so important should be sacked. Although, before AI, cops just use bullshit mindreading tactics that basically boil down to "harass anyone who doesn't act within your cultural and neurotypical norms" while encouraging them to influence their own perceptions with any personal or local biases. I.E. Cops are borked and need reshaping.
