Answering widespread demands for new curbs on aggressive policing in the wake of George Floyd's killing, Amazon is halting law enforcement use of its facial recognition platform for one year
Answering widespread demands for new curbs on aggressive policing in the wake of George Floyd's killing, Amazon is halting law enforcement use of its facial recognition platform for one year, the company said Wednesday.
The move came two days after IBM announced that it was getting out of the facial recognition business entirely, citing ethical concerns over the powerful technology.
A 2019 California law banned the use of facial recognition software — and any other biometric surveillance that can identify people by tattoo, gait or other individually distinguishable characteristics — on photos or video collected by law enforcement agencies. Story continuesAmazon has been one of the leading providers of facial recognition technology to law enforcement agencies in recent years, a role that has drawn criticism. In June 2018, the Washington state branch of the American Civil Liberties Union called on the Seattle company to stop providing the technology to governments, including local law enforcement.
