This is horrifying. The prosecutor who sought an extradition based on an 85% accurate AI model should be disbarred.

I have bad news about the accuracy of almost all forensic science, especially fingerprints and dna

That's why we don't trust them alone or can demand tests from different sources. AI, however, gets sold as an ultimate cure. Just like anything computers touch, it is assumed infallible.

I have bad news about Prosecutorial Immunity. It is damn near impossible to punish a prosecutor for anything done in the line of work.

Reasonable, yes, but they won't happen, because prosecutors never prosecute themselves.
