The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has released a report highlighting the disproportionate harm caused by facial recognition technology to people of color and women. The technology, increasingly used by federal agencies for law enforcement, airport security, and public housing surveillance, lacks proper oversight and regulation.
At least 18 federal agencies employ facial recognition, with the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement among the main users. The report warns of potential civil rights infringements, including wrongful arrests and unwarranted surveillance.
Tests have shown higher rates of false matches for certain groups, including older adults, women, and people of color. In public housing, the technology has reportedly led to evictions over minor violations, raising concerns about discrimination.
Civil rights advocates are calling for moratoriums on biased technology and pushing for policy changes. The commission recommends developing a testing protocol for effectiveness and accuracy, and urges Congress to provide legal recourse for those harmed by facial recognition technology.
As the debate over AI in law enforcement continues, this report aims to inform policymakers and protect civil liberties in the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
