Gartner to biometrics firms: Do better with facial recognition. Somehow

The facial recognition community continues to speak in circles when ethics is the topic. Notable business-to-business tech analyst Gartner is the latest with indistinct advice that amounts to "Please use better judgment." A new post by Gartner analyst Frank Buytendijk advises, "The appropriate use of facial recognition technology depends on the prevailing culture, ethics, legislation and practices." People in public might as well be fish in a barrel analyzed for profit by machine vision. Vendors leave questions of ethics in the hands of buyers.
