Nationwide protests have opened the door for a conversation around how facial recognition technology should be used by police — amid growing evidence of gender and racial bias baked into the algorithms.

AI security cameras with facial recognition technology are seen at the 14th China International Exhibition on Public Safety and Security in Beijing on October 24, 2018.Earlier this month, IBM said it was getting out of the facial recognition business. Then Amazon and Microsoft announced prohibitions on law enforcement using their facial recognition tech.

Today on the show, Short Wave host Maddie Sofia and reporter Emily Kwong speak with AI policy analyst Mutale Nkonde about algorithmic bias — how facial recognition software can discriminate and reflect the biases of society. Nkonde is the CEO of AI For the People, fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, and Fellow at the Digital Civil Society Lab at Stanford University.

I thought these tech companies had announced they weren’t selling FR software to PD? What happened to that?

Aside from bias it's also, you know, a severe invasion of human rights and their right to privacy

Tech companies have proven themselves to be totally unethical, they will be regulated soon

“Computers are racist.” The insanity of liberals knows no bounds.

It’s crazy to me how the media just keeps pumping out story after story. You cover up your own content with new distractions. What do you want people to focus on? Give people something to focus on that might result in positive change instead beating us down with more distraction

How about no facial recognition tech because it is creepy, dystopian and fuck that authoritarian monitoring bullshit.

iamjohnoliver did a brilliant piece on it- for a human

A conversation, you mean the police and airports started using it without anyones permission. The there was outrage...
