The Watchlist

The system says it's a match. Is it?
Your Role

Verification Officer · Regional Police Operations Center

Transit-hub cameras feed a facial-recognition system called VigilMatch. Whenever VigilMatch thinks it has found someone on the regional watchlist, the case lands in your queue: a camera capture, the watchlist record it thinks matches, and a similarity verdict.

Your job is to verify. For each case you have three options: confirm the match, reject the match, or flag it for a second reviewer when you are not sure. You have 25 seconds per case. If the clock runs out, the queue does not wait: the case is auto-confirmed and moves on without you, the way a rubber stamp would.

Remote biometric identification is listed as high-risk in Annex III of the EU AI Act. Eight cases are waiting. Look closely: the system is right most of the time, which is exactly what makes the times it is wrong easy to miss.

AI transparency

This demo is a scripted, self-contained browser simulation. Nothing you type is sent to an AI model and no live AI system runs behind it, even where it plays one. Its code and copy were built with generative AI (Anthropic’s Claude) and reviewed by Robert Barcik, who is responsible for what is published (LearningDoe s.r.o.). Disclosed in the spirit of Article 50 of the EU AI Act.
