It's worth pointing out that the technology isn't capable of what people think it is capable of.




I don't see much explaining of the capabilities of AI in the article.


Pointing out a colossal failing of ML based facial recognition is the point of the article. Without that failure, there is no story here.


Where exactly is the failure? It identified a person who looks similar to the person in the drivers license? It could even actually be the same person, given that the drivers license is assumed to be fake (so the fake could use the photograph of the suspect).
