Detroit settles for $300,000 with man wrongly accused of theft and changes use of facial recognition technology

Reported about 1 year ago

The city of Detroit has agreed to pay $300,000 to Robert Williams after he was wrongly accused of shoplifting using facial recognition technology. As part of the settlement, Detroit will make changes to how police use the technology, including no longer arresting individuals solely based on facial recognition results or photo lineups generated from facial recognition searches. The agreement aims to address flaws and racial biases in the technology and ensure there is additional evidence to support arrests.
