San Francisco officials took a major step toward banning the purchase and use of facial recognition technology by city personnel.
Rather, Peskin said, the aim is to protect"marginalized groups" that could be harmed by the technology.
Civil rights groups and companies including Microsoft Corp, which markets a facial recognition service, have called for regulation of the technology in recent months. This has added momentum to the effort in San Francisco and to a parallel ban reportedly in the works in nearby Oakland.
