Almost 200 face recognition algorithms—a majority in the industry—had worse performance on nonwhite faces, according to a landmark study.

For one-to-one matching, most systems had a higher rate of false positive matches for Asian and African-American faces over Caucasian faces, sometimes by a factor of 10 or even 100. In other words, they were more likely to find a match when there wasn’t one.
