With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.
Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. https://t.co/2wq41v09Hj

🚨There's different types of expertise in facial recognition 🚨
We tested #DeepNeuralNetworks, #SuperRecognizers & #ForensicExaminers from 14 countries & found:
👉#AI + human expert = highest accuracy 👈

👮🚨New paper testing 1600 NSW Police officers out today @PLOSONE with @dunnhappy, @DrAliceTowler. We report a selection process to identify and verify 38 super-recognisers -- leading to 20 percent point improvement on face ID accuracy https://t.co/ocg2dS1fJE 🧵5 key findings:

[Clare Garvie @ClareAngelyn]

Alonzo Sawyer is the 5th person—5th Black man—that we *know* has been wrongfully arrested thanks to a #FaceRecognition mis-identification.

The reality is we rarely discover when this tool is used, so the real number is likely much higher.
