IBM will stop selling its facial recognition technology amid nationwide protests for racial justice and police reform. The company cited fears that such technology could be used by police to violate 'basic human rights and freedoms.'
that the technology is often less successful at identifying the gender of darker-skinned faces, which could lead to misidentifications.
"It's good that IBM took this step, but it can't be the only company," Freed Wessler told NPR."Amazon, Microsoft and other corporations are trying to make a lot of money by selling these dangerous, dubious tools to police departments. That should stop right now." Critics of the surveillance technology who have called on Microsoft and Amazon to make similar commitments say relying on data-mining tools to make public-safety decisions could endanger citizens.
"We know that facial recognition technology, when used irresponsibly, has risks," wrote Matt Wood, general manager of artificial intelligence at Amazon Web Services."But we remain optimistic about the good this technology will provide in society, and are already seeing meaningful proof points with facial recognition helping thwart child trafficking, reuniting missing kids with parents, providing better payment authentication, or diminishing credit card fraud.
