roger k.k. about the issue. when the software is trained to recognize faces you have to train our corpus and the corpus is made up of lots of the images of people and you for whatever reason the images are mainly copulation people then you will be better at recognizing them some of the minorities if they weren't well represented in the training center so i think that's the technical side of it but if you just grabbing any images that you find and many of them will be dark you know absolute people who have darker skin tones may just do just may be harder to see it should be understood that facial recognition is not a matter of taking a photograph and for comparing it to another photograph and saying no this one looks like that and that's what it that's what it is human we do know what a computer is though it measures points maybe a c l

u reveal that amazon is trying to sell its facial recognition technology to government and police agencies and that led him or a civil liberties groups to join together in calling for that not to happen even amazon workers join the protest however the technology is already being tested in some u.s. police departments but next of course comedy as kate says a good expect is public safety commission is already working with government agencies to deploy this technology and at the a.c.l.u. we obtain records that show that amazon signed a secrecy agreement with one county to keep details about the technology out of public view they've also invited law enforcement to suggest new features and they offered free consulting to help the city of orlando build its own system amazon though has hit back at the a.c.l.u. test saying it had lower accuracy settings than recommended. well eighty percent confidence is an acceptable threshold for photos of hot dogs chairs animals or
7:07 am
other social media use cases it wouldn't have proper it for identify an individual us with a reasonable level of certainty when his and facial recognition for law enforcement activities would guide customised to set a threshold of at least ninety five percent or higher from amazon's point of view what they said was that they train their law enforcement clients not to use this software or who are making decisions but rather to narrow down the pool to where a human can look at the final result and verify yes these do make sense the same people or they're not the same people amazon is saying what we think is quite helpful we can find lost children and we can find criminals and things and that's all very positive so then the a.c.l.u. is saying yes but you also may use that as a way to sweep up people there's a possibility of abuse of the technology and there's also the use of it for good.
