Scottish Police Encouraged to Use Super Recognisers
/In the article below, Prof Josh Davis of Greenwich University, as honorary fellow of the Associate encourages Police Scotland to use their human Super Recognisers.
From the article: Professor Davis said: “When you want to try and identify the perpetrator and you have a database of potential mugshots, that face is fed into a system and it searches through, potentially, a very large database if you’re going to put it through the entire police record of everyone who’s been arrested. It brings up a large array of face potential matches and against each one you’ll get some sort of percentage likelihood that it’s a match. But if that person hasn’t been arrested for five to ten years their appearance will have changed. AI is not as good at that point at all. It’s AI and super-recognisers that work the best together, rather than one or the other.”
