@fishidwardrobe As far as the UK is concerned (re facial recognition) I recall the latest study has found false positives disproportionately higher for Black people and statistically significant.

The UK Police thought this acceptable and have continued the roll out of this tech. A judgement call that bakes a little bit more systemic racism into UK Policing with little to no accountability.

PS. I'm not academically qualified to comment on the paper, but take an interest in these things.
