Great news!
New York City Council established a task force last year to evaluate the city’s use of automated decision systems, to “ensure these systems align with the goal of making New York City a fairer and more equitable place.” The Task Force is hosting a public session this week at our library. I’ll report back if facial recognition pops in light of this week’s news!
