CompTIA Signs Open Letter to Congress on Facial Recognition

Facial acknowledgment innovation is one of numerous advancements that law implementation can use to help guard networks. Facial acknowledgment frameworks have improved quickly in the course of recent years, and the best frameworks perform fundamentally superior to humans.

1 Today facial acknowledgment innovation is being utilized to help recognize people engaged with violations, find missing kids, and battle sex dealing. As the innovation keeps on improving, there will be significantly more open doors later on to utilize the innovation as an insightful instrument to understand violations; as a security countermeasure against dangers in air terminals, schools, and other open scenes; and as a way to safely distinguish people at ports of passage. Surely, voyagers are as of now reacting emphatically to biometric passage/leave programs that enable them to pass quickly and safely through airports.


2While surveys reliably demonstrate that Americans trust law implementation to utilize facial acknowledgment innovation dependably, a few gatherings have called for officials to sanction bans on facial acknowledgment technology.3 While we concur that it is imperative to have powerful oversight and responsibility of these instruments to maintain and ensure common freedoms, we differ that a boycott is the best choice to push ahead. Bans would keep this significant apparatus out of the hands of law requirement officials, making it harder for them to carry out their responsibilities effectively, remain safe, and secure our networks.


We are writing to urge you to consider huge numbers of the practical options in contrast to bans so law implementation can utilize facial acknowledgment innovation securely, precisely, and successfully. These options may incorporate extending testing and execution benchmarks, the improvement of best practices and direction for law requirement, and extra preparing for various employments of the innovation.
