Police and federal agencies have found a controversial new way to skirt the growing patchwork of laws that curb how they use facial recognition: an AI model that can track people using attributes like body size, gender, hair color and style, clothing, and accessories.
How is this new? I thought gait (walking style) analysis already covered identifying people without a clear face, and that there were already automated tools for it.
This just seems like a tool to use as an excuse to nab the wrong person because they looked or dressed similar.
