2. AI images have repeatedly failed at accurate identification of black, brown, and other ethnicities.

Early on, the programs were trained mostly using white faces. That was supposedly improved, but I doubt is’s anywhere close to perfect. For whatever reason, the AI facial recognition programs used at US airports do not connect my driver’s license photo to my face, even though it’s only a couple of years old and I am white and have changed very little in appearance. I have to carry my passport for all domestic travel, so AI definitely is not infallible.
