'@JeffBezos: We need to talk ASAP' - Congress Gets A Demonstration of Facial Recognition's Biases

It's hard to get lawmakers to understand privacy issues, let alone commit to taking action. Yet in one day, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) pulled off an incredible feat. They showed the public how facial recognition technology can lead to false and biased accusations. By the afternoon, two prominent members of Congress sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos demanding an immediate meeting. The Congressmen were angry at the results of a report which showed that Amazon's facial recognition software, Rekognition, had identified 28 legislators as potential criminals.
