BROWN: “Women of color reported experience the highest rates of online abuse. However, all communities are not impacted by the surveillance in the same way. Black and brown communities are disproportionately surveilled by law enforcement using surveillance cameras. These systems frequently leverage racial recognition technology, which has shown significant error rates when analyzing individuals with black and brown skin tones. One study found that the error rate for facial recognition technology when used on light-skinned men was less than 1 in 100, while the error rate when used for darker-skinned women was nearly 35 percent. This discrepancy raises serious questions about the possibility that surveillance technology will be used to unfairly target minority communities. Cameras that misidentify people do not create law and order. They only put more people at risk.
