Something to think about is the future of racism after big tech solves the inaccuracy problem of facial recognition software.

Because they will solve it.

This is where your stop and frisk analogy comes in so well, I think.

At some point, I think we have to say it’s not okay for law enforcement to routinely scan our faces and discover who we are unless they have a real reason to. Perhaps all the way up to probable cause levels.

Just like we must insist not okay for cops to stop and frisk unless they have a real reason to.

Yes, it’s a big problem now that when they scan our faces they get the faces of Black people and especially Black women wrong.

But that will not always be the case, and maybe for not much longer at all.

So perhaps we’d better start thinking about the dystopia when the software works really really really well.
