📸 Woman Spent Half a Year in Prison Due to AI Error

50-year-old Angela Lipps from Tennessee ended up in prison after the Fargo police (North Dakota, almost 2,000 km from Tennessee) said they suspected her of bank fraud based on the results of an AI facial recognition system.

On bank cameras, some woman used fake documents to cash out tens of thousands of dollars. The AI system decided it was Lipps on the video, even though she had an alibi.

"I've never been to North Dakota, I don't know anyone from North Dakota," Lipps said.

❗️ In the end, Lipps was freed after 5.5 months—after her lawyer showed her bank statements that proved she could not have been at the crime scene. The police themselves did not even try to check Lipps's words.

🔍 At the same time, they did not pay for her trip home and did not apologize. And while the woman was in prison, she lost her house, car, and dog.
