Experts say facial recognition technology is used in fraud detection and abuse prevention. Do you think the benefits outweigh the risks?
The Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit in mid-February, seeking damages related to Facebook's photo services.
"While touting Tag Suggestions as a means to improve user experience," the lawsuit said,"Facebook never disclosed that Tag Suggestions was capturing facial geometry from photographs and continuously training its AI. ... [Users] were helping to teach Facebook's facial-recognition techonology to better map and recognize human faces for the benefit of Facebook's commercial endeavors."In 2021, the company settled a similar lawsuit in Illinois for $650 million.
Teuscher noted that Texas and Illinois are among a handful of states with biometric data privacy laws on the books.Texas' lawsuit comes amid a broader push against the use of facial recognition technology. "We understand the concerns that have been raised," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig in a written statement announcing the decision to stop using ID.me technology."[W]e are quickly pursuing short-term options that do not involve facial recognition."
