Nuns and other Amazon investors make demands over face recognition
A group of investors representing over $1 billion in assets called for Amazon to halt government sales of face recognition.
Amazon’s face recognition software is under fire from human rights groups, employees, and a growing number of its investors. In a shareholder resolution issued on Thursday, a group of investors are pushing the company to halt government sales of Amazon Web Services’s Rekognition, software that can identify and track faces, citing potential civil and human rights risks.
