A Tennessee grandmother blames AI facial recognition software for wrongfully putting her in jail for nearly half a year. It's been eight months since her arrest, and the police are only now admitting what went wrong during the investigation.
In July 2025, police arrested 50-year-old Angela Lipps for committing bank fraud in Fargo, North Dakota. Lipps claims that she has never been on an airplane, let alone to North Dakota, but AI facial recognition software identified her as a potential suspect in the case anyway, according to court documents obtained by WDAY.
