Amazon Bans Police Use of Its Face Recognition for a Year

Amazon on Wednesday banned police use of its face-recognition technology for a year, making it the latest tech giant to step back from law-enforcement use of systems that have been criticized for incorrectly identifying people with darker skin.

Amazon said it will still allow organizations such as the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children to use the technology.
