In Detroit, police arrest Robert Williams, making him the first documented case of wrongful arrest caused by a facial recognition technology (FRT) mismatch. In Toronto, Somali refugee Ahlam Hassan faces deportation based on FRT misidentifying her as a Kenyan national. In New York, civil rights lawyer Stefanie Coyle receives a panicked email from parents in an upstate school district that quietly installed FRT.<\/p>\n
ExCoded<\/em> interweaves Robert, Ahlam, and Stefanie\u2019s stories with other unfolding international cases, from the UK to Brazil, Korea to Palestine. Bringing together never-before-seen investigative materials and visceral on-the-ground coverage, our key participants\u2019 stories are situated in the global context of AI-powered surveillance systems, contrasting the real impacts on their lives with the cold algorithmic gaze of facial recognition-powered cameras. ExCoded<\/em> examines what happens when regular, unsuspecting people are caught in the nightmarish web of algorithmic misfire.<\/p>\n The impact goals and strategy, teaser and film team contacts will be posted here in February 2027.<\/em><\/strong>
