+1 City Bans Use of Facial Recognition Software.

Continuing Black Lives Matter reforms, Madison, Wisconsin voted to ban the use of facial recognition software by city agencies.

The reasons offered for opposing the use of facial recognition software:

  • unreliable
  • faulty
  • would worsen the racial disparities 

The exception that allows use of facial recognition software: to identify and locate “victims of human trafficking, child sexual exploitation or missing children.”
