What could possibly go wrong? Had a friend arrested last week here in France (for not respecting the curfew). Once at the police station, police used some facial recognition app on him and tried to get him to confess he was in reality this other person that the software thought it recognized.<p>I am not a lawyer, but i&#x27;m not sure any option is better: have police accusing you of lying about your identity because their AI thinks you&#x27;re someone else? or actually lie about your identity so match the AI&#x27;s guess?<p>Can&#x27;t wait to start receiving fines and convocations to the tribunal for when their AI thinks someone else they arrested is me...
