I remember reading something last year about how some not most facial recognition software has racist biases because the models are primarily trained on Caucasian people. Based on just the name, I’m going to assume Rajeh is not white, and may be a victim of that bias. Granted, it shouldn’t be used at all, so it’s splitting hairs more than anything.
IIRC they found that even with balanced training data facial recognition models just do worse on darker-skinned people. Something about cameras picking up less contrast on the skin, meaning there are fewer easily-identifiable facial features it can pick up from an image.
