Angela Lipps, a grandmother who spent over five months in a Tennessee jail due to AI-powered facial recognition, was charged with eight felony counts of bank fraud after a detective from Fargo, N.D., ran her face through a database and claimed she resembled the woman on the bank's surveillance footage. However, no one from Fargo Police Department or the local police in North Dakota contacted Lipp's before filing charges, which led to her losing her home, car, and dog. The same software matched Lipp’s, but the police declined to file charges against her. The case was dismissed on Christmas Eve. The technology misidentifies Black and Asian faces at a rate 10 to 100 times the rate of white faces, but this is not confined to these demographics. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Deaton Foundation have called for strong standards in which law enforcement can use AI to verify alibis in three quarters of cases.
