I know the ICE are modern time stasi psykos, but the problem of definitively identifying a person is actually fairly difficult when you trust nothing from the person themselves.

If you have a person in custody and you don't trust what they say is true, you don't trust the documents they have are authentic...how do you then determine who they actually are?

So it works as designed.

It is not the evil AI what will kill us, but the stupid people using AI will.

RealID is insufficient to confirm citizenship, yet a facial recognition app that is known to make errors is "definitive"? Sounds like racist bullshit to me.

I found the implementation of the facial recognition app

It's definitive because they're genuinely stupid people who aren't capable of independent thought. Is a miracle they don't forget how to stay standing up.

Basically ICE's digital colour pantone. It sure does make their job at being racist easier.

Anyone that's ever looked into Google Photo's "auto tag" feature knows that facial recognition is not 100% accurate. Google has done it the longest, with the largest dataset and the most processing power, and it is still 90% accurate, at best.

...There's one way out, that I can see They're betting it all on one machinee With a still-beating heart From a dream they can barely recall Before it all fell apart...
