Florida lawsuit alleges wrongful arrest after AI facial recognition error

Florida man Robert Dillon got arrested at home for a crime committed 300 miles away, all thanks to AI facial recognition confidently pointing at the wrong guy. Nothing says 'cutting-edge policing' like letting an algorithm ruin someone's life because it can't tell faces apart. He's now suing multiple law enforcement agencies, which seems fair when your freedom depends on software that wouldn't pass a basic vision test.
