Ring Continues To Pitch Facial Recognition To Law Enforcement While Claiming It Won’t Be Adding Facial Recognition To Its Cameras
Oh no, we’d never DREAM of adding facial recognition tech to our Ring product. That is the furthest thing from our minds.
(From TechDirt)
Maybe the explanation is that Ring isn’t planning to add it to its consumer products but is developing something for law enforcement to apply to footage via its portal. This would allow Ring to continue to claim it’s not adding facial recognition software to its cameras while still making use of its “Head of Facial Recognition” person.
See, totally no problem.
