Face-Off: Recognizing and Challenging Facial Recognition in Criminal Cases
Police departments across the country are starting to use facial recognition technology to identify suspects, and body camera manufacturers are working to incorporate the technology into their products. This emerging technology has many flaws, which render its results unreliable. Defenders need to understand the technology and its limitations, be aware of how it is being deployed, and know how to challenge its use in their cases. This webinar was supported by Grant No. 2013-MU-BX-K014 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
The webinar from September 18, 2018 featured Kaitlin Jackson, Supervising Attorney, CDP with the Bronx Defenders, Clare Garvie, Senior Associate with the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law, and Joshua Kroll, an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA.
