Facial Recognition Company Lied to School District About Its Racist Tech

Call me paranoid, but this type of criticism about face recognition favors broad surveillance and tries to normalize it by reducing objections to edge cases like bias.

If I had a face rec security company I would pay these writers because it really helps to push application forward.

You should really ask yourself if you want to put pupils under constant surveillance and if that is a necessity. Because it evidently is not but it is now part of their curriculum. Of course they will learn by how they are treated, as someone under suspicion. If we talk about bias, we would need to talk about these consequences as well, but it is a more complex topic.

Lesson 1: Basic rights aren't that important - Really a good lesson to teach.

We can spend billions on security that would be better served to spend on the education itself.

I can see the value of a system that detects weapons and alerts the police automatically when the minutes saved in response time could save many lives. However, the the idea of not having any humans in the loop regardless of the quality of the system is insane. Is this another case of technology advancing ahead of legislation?
