Incident 13052 Report
UK Facial Recognition System Reportedly Exhibits Higher False Positive Rates for Black and Asian Subjects

2025-12-05

UK government testing of police facial recognition technology reportedly found significantly higher false positive identification rates for Black and Asian individuals compared with white subjects, with particularly elevated error rates for Black women. The findings reportedly emerged from analysis of retrospective searches of the police national database and were disclosed by the Home Office amid plans for expanded national deployment.
