"In the wake of the American Civil Liberties Union’s test where 28 members of Congress were wrongly identified as arrestees via its Rekognition facial recognition service, some of those lawmakers have now raised serious concerns to the tech giant."
"For now, Amazon has neither answered their questions, nor Ars’."
"We request an immediate meeting with you to discuss how to address the defects of this technology in order to prevent inaccurate outcomes," wrote Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), in a letter to CEO Jeff Bezos."
"Those two members of the House of Representatives were among the 28 that were falsely identified as being amidst a group of 25,000 mugshots."
"The 28 also included Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), and Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.), who separately wrote to the company on Thursday and asked the company to answer specific questions and requests, with a deadline of August 20."
