misidentifies women, particularly those with darker skin.
Amazon face-detection
technology shows bias
NEW YORK (AP) —
Facial-detection technol-
ogy that Amazon is mar-
keting to law enforcement
often misidentifies women,
particularly those with
darker skin, according to
researchers from MIT and
the University of Toronto.
Privacy and civil rights
advocates have called on
Amazon to stop market-
ing its Rekognition service
because of worries about
discrimination
against
minorities. Some Amazon
investors have also asked
the company to stop out of
fear that it makes Amazon
vulnerable to lawsuits.
The researchers said
that in their tests, Ama-
zon’s technology labeled
darker-skinned women as
men 31 percent of the time.
Lighter-skinned women
were misidentified 7 per-
cent of the time. Dark-
er-skinned men had a 1
percent error rate, while
lighter-skinned men had
none.
Artificial intelligence
can mimic the biases of
their human creators as
they make their way into
everyday life. The new
study, released late Thurs-
day, warns of the poten-
tial of abuse and threats
to privacy and civil liber-
ties from facial-detection
technology.
Matt Wood, general
manager of artificial intel-
ligence with Amazon’s
cloud-computing unit, said
the study uses a “facial
analysis” and not “facial
recognition” technology.

Five killed in Florida bank massacre
SEBRING, Fla. (AP) —
A bank employee escaped
a massacre that killed five
women at a SunTrust branch
in Florida, running out a
back door when the gunfire
began, according to a sher-
iff’s office.
The employee was in a
back break room when the
attack began in the Sebring
bank, Highlands County
Sheriff’s Office spokesman
Scott Dressel said Friday.
“Upon hearing the shots,
the employee ran out a back
door and contacted law
enforcement,” Dressel told
The Associated Press. No
additional information about
the employee was released.
Four SunTrust employees
and a customer were killed
in the bank’s lobby. Zephen
Xaver, 21, was arrested after
a standoff with police and
now faces five counts of
premeditated murder. State
Attorney Brian Haas has
said it is likely that he will
seek the death penalty.
“The death penalty is
reserved for the worst of the
worst first-degree murder
cases. Given what I know
about this horrific case, I
certainly anticipate that the
death penalty will apply,”
Haas said in an email to The
Ledger.
One of Xaver’s attorneys,
assistant public defender
Peter Mills, said they have
no comment on the case, and
Xaver won’t be making any
public statements. Xaver’s
arraignment is scheduled
Feb. 25 in Highlands County
court.
SunTrust banks observed
a moment of silence Friday
afternoon to honor the five
women.
In a Facebook post, Sun-
Trust said the moment of

bank early Thursday in Sebring, Fla.
silence was scheduled for
12:36 p.m. That was the time
on Wednesday when Xaver
called 911 and told dispatch-
ers he had shot everyone
inside the bank.
The shooting appeared to
be a random act, not part of
a robbery, and Xaver had no
connection to any of the vic-
tims, Sebring Police Chief
Karl Hoglund said Thursday
at a news conference.
Xaver recently moved
from northern Indiana to
Sebring, about 80 miles
southeast of Tampa. He also
recently quit his job as a
prison guard trainee.
An
Indiana
police
department released a 2014
report in which Xaver, then
16, said he had dreams of
hurting other students in a
classroom.
The Bremen Police
Department report said
the Bremen High School
principal contacted police
after Xaver reported hav-
ing the dream the previ-
ous night and again during
a nap at school. The report
said Xaver’s mother agreed
to take him to a behavioral
health center. Police took no
further action.
Authorities also released
log entries of other incidents
involving Xaver, includ-
ing one in March 2017,
when Michigan State Police
advised that a girl received
messages from Xaver indi-
cating he was “possibly
thinking of suicide by cop
and taking hostages.”
An Indiana woman who
identified herself as Xaver’s
ex-girlfriend has told report-
ers that he long had been
fascinated with the idea of
killing, but no one took her
warnings about him seri-
ously. His father told CNN
that Xaver “had his troubles,
but he has never hurt anyone
ever before.”
Police have identified
four of the victims: cus-
tomer Cynthia Watson, 65,
and three bank employees:
55-year-old Marisol Lopez,
31-year-old Jessica Mon-
tague and 38-year-old Ana
Pinon Willliams, a mother
of seven.
In compliance with a
newly passed victims’ rights
law in Florida, police have
withheld the name of the
fifth victim at the family’s
request.
