Amazon’s facial recognition tech incorrectly identified 28 members of Congress as people who had been arrested for committing a crime, testing of the software discovered.

Analysis from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) this week said a dataset of publicly available mugshots had been “disproportionately” matched with people of color, including civil rights pioneer Rep. John Lewis and five other members of the Congressional Black Caucus. U.S. politicians are now demanding answers from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos over the results.
