At Amazon, facial recognition ban won just 2% of shareholder vote

Okay, but you just made that up. Because the "blindspots" that it has, are that it doesn't recognize minorities very well, so that doesn't "automate" problems that already exist, because the problems that already exist aren't "not recognizing the black guy" obviously (they're really, quite the opposite of this). This sounds good in your head I'm sure, but since it's not even a coherent argument against the technology.

But that's besides the point. What you really want to tell me is that we need to train the AI to not use data, or that before it can use certain data, we need the AI to understand the sociological reasons that it might explain the data. Every third profile, it needs to give the individual a pass, because their address is in a very poor neighborhood, and as a result, we might be profiling someone that all the available data says has an increased likelihood of carrying contraband, even if the increase in likelihood is minuscule, that sounds like bad policing.
