Despite mounting evidence, government agencies continue to push face recognition systems on communities across the United States .
Lawmakers have sought to legislate performance scores that set across-the-board accuracy or error-rate requirements for facial recognition algorithms used by police that would allow police to use FRT systems that clear these requirements.
NIST testing also shows algorithms produced false positive rates tens or hundreds of times higher for females older than 65 born in West African countries than for males ages 20-35 born in Eastern European countries.
By only considering the true positive rate, we miss these extreme disparities, which can lead to devastating consequences.
ACLU supports a federal moratorium on its use by law and immigration enforcement agencies.
