You're listening to an iHeart Podcast. Are there any pictures of you online? Then you could already be in a massive police database without even knowing it. Clearview scrapes together images from Facebook, from LinkedIn, from Venmo accounts. I'm Dexter Thomas, host of Kill Switch, a podcast about how living in the future is affecting us right now.
Police, they are trusting the software with this magical ability to lead them to the right suspect. In this episode, we dive into how cops are using AI and facial recognition and sometimes getting it wrong and putting innocent people behind bars. So if your accuser is this algorithm, but you're not even being told that it was used, let alone given any of the details about how it works.
Listen to Kill Switch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, and welcome to The Short Stuff. I'm Josh. There's Chuck. Jerry's here for Dave. And this is Short Stuff. We're talking about one of the greatest Americans to ever grace this earth.
That's right. A food scientist named William A. Mitchell, who was a research chemist for 35 years at General Foods. And this is a great guy. He seems like it. There was an interview with a guy named Marv Rudolph, who worked with... with Mitchell that said he just knew how to amplify flavors in food. He knew what colors to make something to make it more attractive.
And if you had a problem, he was a guy to go to. He could figure it out. The other great thing was, and this is also from the same interview, is they tried to promote him at General Foods to management many, many times, but he didn't want to do that. He was a lab guy and wanted to stay in the lab.
Yes. And that is the sign of a true artiste.
Yeah.
Because I think we talked about in our Peter Principle episode, appropriately enough, because that's what we're talking about here. You can very easily get raised, I guess. Promoted. Thank you. Out of your field of expertise and suddenly you're a manager. And not everybody's a manager, we can tell you for sure.
