Jun 29, 2024, 03:40 AM
The city of Detroit has agreed to pay $300,000 to Robert Williams, who was wrongfully accused of shoplifting in 2020 due to misidentification by facial recognition technology. The settlement follows a lawsuit filed by Williams against the Detroit Police Department, which led to changes in how the department uses facial recognition technology to solve crimes. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) reached the settlement with the Detroit Police Department, highlighting the issues with the current use of facial recognition technology in law enforcement. Williams was arrested in front of his wife and two young daughters.
