On 3/2/21 at 5:00 PM EST
Political polarization over government use of facial recognition technology continues to mount, as Massachusetts became one of the first states to pass comprehensive regulations curbing law enforcement s use of the software.
The bill passed with a 70% percent majority in the state senate, in which Democrats outnumber Republicans 37-3. But Republican Governor Charlie Baker originally opposed the bill and threatened not to sign it without changes.
The reason? The effectiveness of facial recognition software in helping authorities catch child predators.
AI (artificial intelligence) security cameras using facial recognition technology are displayed at the 14th China International Exhibition on Public Safety and Security at the China International Exhibition Center in Beijing on October 24, 2018.
