CTA, Other Industry Groups Warn Congress Against Face-Scanning Moratorium

A moratorium on the use of facial recognition technology could have consequences for innovation, safety and security, industry groups wrote Congress Wednesday. CTA, NetChoice and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce were among those signing. They urged Congress to “collaborate with all stakeholders to address concerns raised by facial recognition technology and provide a consistent set of” U.S. rules. Four U.S. cities have such rules (see 1910160033).
