Fever Tablet Facial Recognition Misidentifies Teenager, Alleges Racial Profiling
A Michigan skating rink deployed a fever tablet with facial recognition that misidentified a Black teenager.
The teenager's mother alleged racial profiling, while the skating rink owner told IPVM he purchased the unit based on a recommendation from a roller skating rink association.
Inside this note, we examine the case and the broader issues involved with facial recognition errors.
