AI identified her as the suspect in a crime spree in states she had never been to. she was in jail for six months before she even got to speak with an officer and they instantly were shown they had no case. she lost everything—her house, dog, car, and was left stranded in north dakota.

One of the question I had after reading this article was, "how much DID this lady look like the photo that the AI thought she was her?" This article doesn't provide the photo, but the WEBP coverage did. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

We really need to highlight the police realized they made a mistake and instead of apologizing, attempted to murder her by releasing her into below freezing temperatures without a jacket on a day where everything was closed.

Do so They probably live in the neighborhood Cops, cop supporters, and those who agreed to give unlimited budgets to law enforcement and neglected any oversight of their employees Blame the Voters

It's probably because the archive link doesn't show up well as a thumbnail, so if one doesn't remember the previous story or isn't paying close attention it can indeed look like the story in the quoted post (that does show a thumbnail w/ photo and all) is the one you're talking about

I've shown this to several people and all they tell me is "that's sad but she must've done /some/thing, they wouldn't do this if she hadn't." Like we haven't executed people over flimsier evidence.

I hope she sues the ever loving fuck out of everyone involved. Including whoever created the facial recognition program they used to “identify” her.

Something similar on a smaller scale happened to the son of a teacher at Takoda. He was arrested for felony assault in Bloomington based on AI facial recognition even though he was nowhere near the incident and at work in Minneapolis at the time.
