In the latest development highlighting the pitfalls of facial recognition, the nation’s largest maker of police body cams said it will not be using the technology in those cameras, heeding the recommendation of an independent ethics board.

Axon, the company formerly known as Taser, announced its decision Thursday, the same day its AI and policing technology ethics board released a report that concludes facial recognition is not yet reliable enough to be used on law enforcement’s body-worn cameras.
