Facial recognition tech is widespread now, but still might not recognize you

Facial recognition technology has been widely implemented in various sectors, but it is not without flaws. Many gig workers for Walmart's Spark delivery service have faced issues with the technology, which has misidentified them even when using their own accounts. This problem is not unique to Walmart, as studies have found that facial recognition technology misidentifies people of color more often than white individuals. Limited representation of racial and gender groups in the training data leads to less accurate identification for those backgrounds. Despite these issues, facial recognition continues to be deployed in new areas, such as office buildings and airports. Critics argue that the technology's inaccuracies and privacy concerns should outweigh its benefits in certain contexts.
