In Machines We Trust: When an Algorithm Gets It Wrong

What happens when an algorithm gets it wrong? In the first of a four-part series on face recognition, Jennifer Strong and the team at MIT Technology Review explore the arrest of a man who was falsely accused of a crime using facial recognition. The episode also starts to unpack the complexities of this technology and introduce some thorny questions about its use.  


We meet: 

Robert and Melissa Williams 

Peter Fussey, University of Essex

Hamid Khan, Stop LAPD Spying Coalition
