In a matter of days, there was a sea change with one of the most cutting-edge and controversial technologies in Silicon Valley. Three tech giants — Amazon, Microsoft and IBM — all said this week they will not sell facial recognition technology to police.
The technology, which has long been criticized by justice and privacy advocates, faced new scrutiny in the wake of protests over the death of George Floyd. Suddenly, years of concern about the potential for facial recognition products to misidentify subjects and increase the risk of racial discrimination gained new urgency amid a national reckoning over race and police enforcement.But the moves announced this week by Big Tech are limited and largely temporary.
davidpugliese Who in their right mind can imagine that a private corporation would not cooperate with the State security authority?
Because they're already in bed with our enemies.
The three biggest tech giants will sacrifice your protection and safety till Trump is out of office ,they are blackmailing the country with your safety to vote their agenda ,that is election inference
But at least one of them helps China
If they do Americans can sue and hopefully win settlemnts let these knuckle fks know we as Americans Have right to steal someones face without concent and or permission wining a huge sum will teach these poor excuess for human beings
Bcoz the algorithm is laced with racism. Hence California was the first city to curtail facial recognition tech - it embarrass the city to the core, racism is everywhere.
Cities are banning facial recognition tech. So, tech giants (Amazon, IBM, Microsoft) are lobbying for a'reformed' version okay'd by Congress, that provides them 'light touch' cover, as they help craft new laws. Ban it at the town, city & state level now.
