   Using AI to create a face from crime-scene DNA & then running it through face recognition tech isn’t only “junk science,” EFF’s Jennifer Lynch told @WIRED - “It’s very dangerous, because it puts people at risk of being a suspect for a crime they didn’t commit.”

     @eff @WIRED this is actually several orders of magnitude worse than polygraphs, because polygraphs actually measure *some* physical stimuli. This is on the level of asking a psychic to divinate a changeling from a scrap of DNA except people pretend it's scientific because it's attached to a hallucinating computer.

     Thanks, I hate it!
