"A Māori mum misidentified as a trespassed “thief” at a Rotorua supermarket trialling facial recognition technology says she felt “racially discriminated” against and embarrassed during the “horrible” birthday incident."

"Last week #Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster launched an inquiry into Foodstuffs’ facial recognition trial to monitor whether it complied with the Privacy Act and was effective in reducing harmful behaviour at those supermarkets.

In a written statement, a spokesperson from the Commissioner’s office said he was concerned about “bias and accuracy” and facial recognition technology (FRT) not being “a proven tool” to reduce harmful behaviour in supermarkets."
