Description: In 2019, facial recognition technology misidentified Francisco Arteaga as a suspect in an armed robbery in New Jersey. The incident led to nearly four years of pretrial incarceration. Despite having an alibi, Arteaga was charged based on the flawed identification. The legal battle that followed resulted in a court ruling requiring police to reveal details about the algorithms used in facial recognition. The process exposed significant gaps in transparency and accountability.
Editor Notes: See Incident 815 for a broader overview of these specific kinds of harms. Reconstructing the timeline of events: (1) November 29, 2019: An armed robbery occurs at the Buenavista Multiservices store in West New York, New Jersey. Police submit surveillance footage for facial recognition analysis. (2) December 2019: The West New York Police Department sends surveillance footage to the NYPD's Real Time Crime Center, which identifies Francisco Arteaga as a possible match using facial recognition technology. (3) 2019-2022: Arteaga spends nearly four years in pretrial detention while fighting the charges, despite having an alibi. (4) May 13, 2022: A trial judge denies Arteaga’s motion for discovery on details of the facial recognition technology used in his case. (5) June 7, 2023: A New Jersey appellate court rules that Arteaga is entitled to information on the facial recognition technology used in his case, including the algorithm, error rates, and other relevant details.

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.
