Chinese AI firm SenseTime is pushing for standards in facial recognition technology to improve trust levels in the industry. After raising 53 per cent in a funding round in April , the chinese start-up's CEO, Matt Wood , wants the technology to be adopted across different sectors, but thinks this will only happen with regulation. Financial security or law enforcement, for instance, would need complete trust in its facial recognition, while using it for entertainment purposes could be more lax. This follows an American Civil Liberties Union report in April which found SenseTime 's facial recognition labelled darker skinned individuals as criminals more often.
Chinese AI firm SenseTime is pushing for standards in facial recognition technology to improve trust levels in the industry. After raising $600m in a funding round in April, the Chinese start-up's CEO, Xu Li, wants the technology to be adopted across different sectors, but thinks this will only happen with regulation. Financial security or law enforcement, for instance, would need complete trust in its facial recognition, while using it for entertainment purposes could be more lax. This follows an American Civil Liberties Union report in July which found Amazon's facial recognition labelled darker skinned individuals as criminals more often.
