Congratulations to Robert Williams, the winner of AJL’s first Gender Shades Justice Award, for finally reaching a settlement agreement in his lawsuit with the ACLU of Michigan against the Detroit Police Department. Williams was arrested for shoplifting based on faulty facial recognition technology, and since then, he has been working tirelessly to protect others from the dangerous uses of this technology.
