Some U.S. states require law enforcement agencies to obtain authorization before using facial recognition, but regulations targeting AI analysis of call content are almost nonexistent.
Facial recognition systems can match databases in real time in public spaces to enable continuous tracking of specific individuals, and are often deployed without the knowledge or consent of those being monitored
Identical twins are highly similar in facial features, and the accuracy of many existing facial recognition algorithms drops significantly when distinguishing identical twins.
Tech giants such as Microsoft and IBM voluntarily suspended sales of facial recognition technology to law enforcement agencies.
