− | + | Facial recognition technology has become exponentially more sophisticated in the last few years, and consequently is starting to be used by apps and devices left and right. Both law enforcement and the private sector are trying to capitalize on these new capabilities. But what are the privacy implications of a technology that can fully identify us without our knowledge or consent? What about the fact that these technologies have been demonstrated to misidentify people of color?
