Summary: The following article discusses how racial recognition technologies have been criticized for their lack of usefulness and ability to generate true positives for years now. This article provides multiple real world examples, such as New York Police Department, South Wales Police, and Clearview artificial intelligence (AI), to emphasis the ethical concerns in using facial recognition technologies. The author also stated that although IBM’s shift towards abandoning the industry is a positive move, it does not demonstrate a permanent move, leaving the doors open for the company to return publicly if warranted.
