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.” Government officials across the country have proposed reforms to address police brutality and racial injustice aimed at boosting oversight of law enforcement agencies.

Probably they were loosing money on that, and turn this as a PR move..

The cat is out the bag, doesn’t matter if they don’t . You have over 5 companies with programmers and expanded developments actively employing this technology.

You completely failed to cite the landmark research by Joy Buolamwini + Timnit Gebru that exposed the bias and inequity in facial recognition technology. Please correct this immediately.

Let's protect the criminal looters n rioters from being prosecution. The more criminals running free the better. I would just like to point out there were criminals of all races outthere. So racist to imply otherwise

guessing they don't have a product or it's terrible and inconsequential when we hear stronger statements than this from actual players, let us know

Acting sooner on all fronts will prevent more damage.

But was IBM a real big player in this Field. Market expitation is grow. This are the market Leaders.

Smart move?

Hope that applies to all races

Word on the street is BLM doesn’t believe you and they want you to offer up your wife for your white guilt and cuckold the entire time while it’s happening

It's either an overkill or a lie...

Lies!

Wow, how brave of them
