This is a propaganda piece by the state-funded BBC. Notice that the focus of the article is whether the technology is accurate enough, not whether they should be doing it at all in the first place. It's an Overton nudge, a softball position that's easy to take-- because of course the tech will get better.

Spot on. It's amazing how much the BBC is riding on its reputation and how many people are ignorant or just turn a blind eye to the fact it's Tory crony central at the top, and has been for years
The better it gets, the worse the experience for the people who are mistakenly identified.
You do not understand the BBC or its level of independence or funding model.

Yes, the tory government have been trying to stack the governance of the BBC with their own people, but it doesn’t always go the way they expect.
