Tennessee grandmother jailed after AI facial recognition misidentifies her in fraud case A Tennessee grandmother says she was wrongly jailed for weeks after authorities used AI facial recognition to identify her as a suspect in a North Dakota bank fraud case. A Tennessee grandmother claims she spent time in jail, accused of a crime she didn't commit, because authorities had used AI facial recognition to incorrectly identify her as the suspect. Angela Lipps, 50, was accused of committing bank fraud with a fake U. S. Army military ID to take out thousands of dollars between April and May 2025 in North Dakota.According to charging documents provided by her attorney Eric Rice to FOX Television Stations, authorities in Fargo had used facial recognition software to identify Lipps as the suspect seen in surveillance videos. According to WCYB, arrest reports show Lipps was taken to North Dakota at the end of October, then finally released at the end of December.Rice told the news outlet an AI program appeared to select her face. An officer later reviewed her social media, determined she was a sufficient match and obtained an arrest warrant."She remained in custody until the charges were dismissed," Rice added. "She did have exculpatory evidence available, such as records showing she was in Tennessee at the time. I don’t know why it took multiple months for that information to reach the state, but once it did, the charges were dismissed relatively quickly."FOX Television Stations has reached out to Fargo, North Dakota Police, for comment.
