Question For Serious People! Since the federal government operates a number of facial recognition systems, such as the DHS at the border, why can't they use the technology to find the people behind the capitol crimes of January 2021?

3 reason. Resources, capability and political interference.

Explanation:

Large scale frs can be really heavy on computing power which might be better spent doing things like analyzing cancer cells. And if there is only small pd going through the people it would take way too long.

The cameras might not produce good enough quality, or just not enough cameras to catch everyone's faces.

political interference so much of the footage could have been deleted or intentionally hidden/destroyed or the government has specific people they want or don't want arrested so they are being picky with the release of footage or doing it timely as to fit their agenda. There are many plausible reasons. The problem is that no one will just come out and say it.

Explanation:

From Los Angeles Times(Paraphrased)

Facial recognition technology identifies similarities by seizing, cataloging, and monitoring databases of millions of images of people's faces — 641 million as of 2019, in the case of the FBI's facial recognition unit — Images can be retrieved from government systems, such as driver's licenses, or, in the case of Clearview AI, from files copied from social networks or other internet sites.

According to research, technology has failed to correctly identify people of color. According to a federal study published in 2019, black and Asian people were approximately 100 times more likely than white people to be misidentified by facial recognition.

The issue could be with how and who trains the software. According to a study published by New York University's AI Now Institute, artificial intelligence can be shaped by the environment in which it is built. This includes the tech industry, which is notorious for its lack of gender and racial diversity. According to the study, such processes are almost exclusively developed in environments that "tend to be extremely white, affluent, technically oriented, and male." The lack of diversity may extend to the data sets used to train facial recognition software, as studies have revealed that some were largely trained utilizing databases of images of light-skinned males.

This pinpoints to one thing; Facial Recognition could be used, but it will have a lot of Race/Color Biases because, after all, it is a machine.

1. should those convicted of violating laws be labeled?

-yes, because they are violating other people's human rights, so why should they get their's and other's don't?

2. do you feel that this labeling would be an infringement on a person's rights?

-yes it does technically but they lose the right to be human when they rap.e people of everything they have.
