A Sainsbury’s supermarket recently paused its use of AI facial recognition technology after a shopper was falsely identified as a shoplifter and ejected from the store. While the system boasts a 99.98% accuracy rate, even a 0.02% error margin means innocent customers can face false accusations.

Is facial recognition the future of retail security, or is the concept fatally flawed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
