The artificial intelligence confused a person with a criminal, he was jailed, and now the court has allowed him to sue the police.
In 2024, American Alan Vizca Osorio was arrested on suspicion of bank check fraud. He spent about two weeks in pretrial detention. The lawsuit states that Detective Ryan Keeler used a facial recognition system and did not verify its results with independent evidence. The charges were dropped when Osorio testified that he could not have been at the bank at the time of the crime.
Now the victim himself sued, and when the detective asked for immunity, a federal judge refused to dismiss the civil suit and grant that immunity. The court emphasized that artificial intelligence without proof cannot be used as a basis for arrest.
Well, we had a similar story with Tsvetkov Academy. In both stories, it is interesting that for some reason the police give legal force to the conclusions of the AI. And in case of a mistake, who should be held responsible?
