'THANK YOU FACEBOOK!' Internal presentation on facial recognition shows Chicago police applauding the social-media giant and 'selfie culture' for all the photos people share online
Insider public record request/Chicago Police Department
The document was created by Michael Chiocca, who worked for the Chicago Police Department from 1997 until August, during which time he faced 66 misconduct allegations,, according to data from the police-transparency project Invisible Institute. Chiocca, who now works for Genetec, didn't respond to requests for comment.
His presentation explains how to use DataWorks Plus, a tool that matches images to existing mugshots and integrates with NEC and Cognitec. CCTV footage and social media could lead to"suspect identification." But it also notes prospective pitfalls of the technology, saying that facial recognition was a"narrow tool" that couldn't be used to"'confirm' an identification by other means.
Two other slides, both titled"Close but NO," appear to address the problem of look-alikes in facial recognition. In these situations, software accidentally matches different people who look similar. Chiocca gives seven look-alike examples: Bryce Dallas Howard, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Danny DeVito, Ed Sheeran, Jay-Z, and Britney Spears. The"look-alike" presented for DeVito is an Asian man, and the example for Jay-Z is a woman.
Another slide says facial-recognition software uses"an analysis of various features and points on the face" and not"demographics." That may be an effort to address research that found this technology was less accurate when assessing faces that aren't white and male, often through false positives and incorrect matches.
