Amazon defends providing police facial recognition techAmazon has defended working with US police forces to provide facial recognition technology, amid concern from civil rights groups. It said fears over misuse of the technology should not inhibit use of facial recognition to fight crime. "Our quality of life would be much worse today if we outlawed new technology because some people could choose to abuse the technology," Amazon said in a statement. The debate over the implantation of facial recognition software is happening all over the world. In China, three wanted criminals have been arrested while at pop concerts after facial recognition spotted them as they entered the venue.
