Security Industry Association Publishes Analysis on What Science Really Says About Facial Recognition
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has published an analysis looking into the scientific studies used to support anti-facial recognition arguments.
In the analysis, Jake Parker of the Security Industry Association and Rank One Computing's David Ray argue that while there is evidence that some, especially older, versions of this technology have struggled to perform consistently across various demographic factors, the claim that it is inherently less accurate in matching photos of Black and female subjects does not reflect the current state of the science and that some of the evidence cited in calls for banning facial recognition is irrelevant, obsolete, nonscientific or misrepresented.
