UPDATE: Lockport school district will follow new law barring facial recognition tech [Lockport Union-Sun & Journal, N.Y.] Dec. 23 Lockport City School District is barred, at least for a while, from using its facial recognition-based surveillance system under legislation signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday. The newly enacted legislation imposes a moratorium on the purchase and use of biometric identifying technology in schools until at least July 1, 2022, or until a report is completed and the state Education Commissioner authorizes their use, whichever is later. The moratorium applies to both public and private schools in New York state and covers the state-funded, multi-million-dollar Aegis software-powered facial and object recognition system that was activated by the Lockport district on Jan. 2.
