- Racial Tension. A brother of George Floyd appears in the US Congress: "How much is the life of a black man worth?"
Amazon announced Wednesday that it will ban police from using its Rekognition facial recognition program for a year , and called for strong government regulations so that, in the future, its technology is used ethically.
"We uphold stricter government regulations on the ethical use of facial recognition technologies, and Congress appears ready to meet that challenge," the internet commerce giant said in a statement. That decision comes in the context of protests against police violence and racism in the United States.
According to the New York Times, this software has been criticized for its failure to recognize black people. In any case, Amazon's decision is not the only one, since this week the computer giant IBM also announced that it will prohibit the use of this type of software by the Police, and Axon, one of the largest companies of police cameras , has also banned its use by security forces following protests over the death of George Floyd.
