Incidente 692: London Metropolitan Police's Facial Recognition Technology Reportedly Misidentified Shaun Thompson as Suspect Leading to Arrest

Descripción: Sometime in February 2024, Shaun Thompson is reported to have walked by one of the London Metropolitan Police's facial recognition technology vans near London Bridge. He was almost immediately arrested because the technology is reported to have misidentified him as a suspect in an unrelated and unspecified crime.

Editor Notes: Incidents 691 and 692 are paired together in the reporting, but they are two separate, discrete harm events. I have created distinct incident IDs for each while replicating the reporting for each one. The incident date of 2/1/2024 gestures toward the fact that we seem only to have "sometime in February" as the date of Shaun Thompson's misidentification and arrest.

Variantes

Una "Variante" es un incidente que comparte los mismos factores causales, produce daños similares e involucra los mismos sistemas inteligentes que un incidente de IA conocido. En lugar de indexar las variantes como incidentes completamente separados, enumeramos las variaciones de los incidentes bajo el primer incidente similar enviado a la base de datos. A diferencia de otros tipos de envío a la base de datos de incidentes, no se requiere que las variantes tengan informes como evidencia externa a la base de datos de incidentes.
