WASHINGTON - International Business Machines Corp disclosed Monday it will no longer offer facial recognition or analysis software in a letter to Congress calling for new efforts to pursue justice and racial equity, new Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna said.
IBM did not explain the timing of its decision to exit facial recognition development but Krishna told lawmakers"now is the time to begin a national dialogue on whether and how facial recognition technology should be employed by domestic law enforcement agencies." "IBM firmly opposes and will not condone uses of any technology, including facial recognition technology offered by other vendors, for mass surveillance, racial profiling, violations of basic human rights and freedoms," Krishna wrote, adding"technology can increase transparency and help police protect communities but must not promote discrimination or racial injustice."
Krishna, the key architect of IBM's $34 billion Red Hat acquisition last year, took over the chief executive role in April.
