Thanks for this article. I'm sure you have seen the materials that the European released in the last couple of days. They touch on the issue of bias as well and, in fact, ban applications that "pose a risk to fundamental human rights":
"The use of real-time remote biometric identification in publicly accessible spaces for law enforcement purposes poses particular risks for fundamental rights, notably human dignity, respect for private and family life, protection of personal data and non-discrimination. It is therefore prohibited in principle with a few, narrow exceptions that are strictly defined, limited and regulated. They include the use for law enforcement purposes for the targeted search for specific potential victims of crime, including missing children; the response to the imminent threat of a terror attack; or the detection and identification of perpetrators of serious crimes."
