    I’m not doing a bunch of research to prove the point. I’ve been hearing about them being wrong fairly frequently, especially on darker skinned people, for a long time now. It doesn’t matter how often it is. It sounds like you have made up your mind already.

    I’m assuming that of apple because it’s been around for a few years longer than the current AI craze has been going on. We’ve been doing facial recognition for decades now, with purpose built algorithms. It’s not mucb of leap to assume that’s what they’re using.
