A big biometric security company in the UK, Facewatch, is in hot water after their facial recognition system caused a major snafu - the system wrongly identified a 19-year-old girl as a shoplifter.

Yeah, people with totally different facial structures get identified as the same person all the time with the “AI” facial recognition, especially if your darker skinned. Luckily (or unluckily) I’m white as can be.
I’m assuming Apple’s software is a purpose built algorithm that detects facial features and compares them, rather than the black box AI where you feed in data and it returns a result. Thats the smart way to do it, but it takes more effort.
