IBM结束了所有面部识别业务，因为首席执行官指出偏见和不平等
IBM首席执行官Arvind Krishna
今天宣布该公司将不再出售面部识别服务，呼吁就是否应该使用面部识别服务进行“全国对话”。
他还表示支持一项旨在减少警察暴力和增加问责制的新法案。
In a letter reported by CNBC,
written in support of the Justice in Policing Act introduced today, Krishna explains the company’s exit from the controversial business of facial identification as a service:
IBM firmly opposes and will not condone uses of any technology,
including facial recognition technology offered by other vendors, for
- mass surveillance,
- racial profiling,
- violations of basic human rights
and freedoms, or any purpose which is not consistent with our values and Principles of Trust and Transparency.
We believe now
is the time to begin a national dialogue on whether and how facial recognition technology should be employed by domestic law enforcement agencies.
This careful approach to developing and deploying the technology is not a new one:
IBM last year emphasized it with a new database of face data that was more diverse than anything available at the time.
After all, like any program, these systems are only as good as the information you feed into them.
