Thank you for your question. It's very interesting and it actually highlights, I would say, some challenges with other technologies that we have. NIST has done very comprehensive studies, and I encourage you to review their reports, in which they have looked at various different aspects of algorithmic performance. Some of those studies have focused specifically on demographics. One issue they have brought up is that data quality is a big driver of algorithmic performance. They've also noted the fact that technologies tend to do quite well for things like mug shots. One reason for that is that mug shot designs are often built in such a way to consider the range of different skin tones. It's more representative of a face. If you have pictures that don't necessarily capture an individual correctly, that will be reflected in the performance of the technology.
