That's exactly what they're doing?
But Amazon can only control its own offerings. It can't control what any other company that offers facial recognition does, and they probably know that as soon as AWS steps back, some other AI company with less ethics (or cynically, less care of public pushback) will swoop in without hesitation. The only way to stop that is regulations.
- deegles 6y agoThey've had plenty of opportunities to do the right thing and they actively worked against it. In the last year people were so upset about Rekognition that they organized a shareholder proposal (it was defeated)[0] While it's good that they are doing the moratorium, I think it's hardly applause worthy for them to have needed this much backlash to act. Also, I'm not impressed by the argument that other people might offer face recognition. This is about Amazon's actions. https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/28/amazon-facial-recognition-vote/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/28/amazon-facial-recognition-...
