Summary
Images posted on social media have become so valuable to police investigations that the Chicago Police Department thanked Facebook, "selfie culture," and "high-definition cameras" on cellphones during a presentation on how to use facial-recognition technology. The "look-alike" presented for DeVito is an Asian man, and the example for Jay-Z is a woman.Another slide says facial-recognition software uses "an analysis of various features and points on the face" and not "demographics." That may be an effort to address research that found this technology was less accurate when assessing faces that aren't white and male, often through false positives and incorrect matches.The Chicago Police Department is estimated to have access to more than 30,000 surveillance cameras.
