San Francisco says it will start using an artificial intelligence tool to reduce possible racial bias among prosecutors reviewing police reports
of the criminal justice system. An August 2018 MIT study found that Amazon’s facial recognition software Rekognition performed significantly worse in identifying darker-skinned individuals and women compared to white men. The controversial AI software isn’t going away— Amazon isto sell it to the government—but Amazon did take a step back Monday when Amazon Web Services CEO Andy Jassy said the company welcomed federal regulations to facial recognition.
San Francisco’s new tool, however, is quite different from Patternizr, said Chohlas-Wood, who is deputy director of the Stanford Computational Policy Lab. The tool will be used by attorneys to review an incident often hours after it occurred. Even then, it won’t be used to make any final decisions about charging a person. Attorneys will write down an initial, unofficial decision after using the tool. Then, they’ll have access to race information in the unredacted report and body camera footage to make an official charging decision. If their final decision is different from their initial one, prosecutors are required to explain why.
