“This particular investment is not a big surprise to me—there’s a demonstrable gap between action and rhetoric in the case of most big tech companies and Microsoft in particular,” he said. , saying that while there were many positive uses of facial recognition, it could also be abused for aggressive surveillance and infringements on citizens’ human rights.titled “Facial recognition: It’s time for action.” Again he reiterated the good and the bad, warning about the potential for dangerous failings in the technology; facial recognition has, for instance, repeatedly been criticized for failing to differentiate people of non-white ethnicities.

AnyVision has ties to the nation’s intelligence and military. Former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo heads the AnyVision advisory board, whilst the president is Amir Kain, former head of the defense ministry’s security department. “I think it’s incumbent on Microsoft to really look at what that means for the human rights risk associated with the investment in a company that’s providing this technology to an occupying power,” he added. “It’s not just privacy risk but a privacy risk associated with a minority group that has suffered repression and persecution for a long time. There are special considerations of discrimination there.”And it’s growing a significant sales arm in the U.S.
