Five members of US Congress are demanding answers -- and an immediate meeting -- from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, after a test of Amazon's Rekognition facial recognition software matched them with mugshots of known criminals, according to official letters obtained by CNET on Thursday, which you can read below.

US Reps. Jimmy Gomez, John Lewis, Luis Gutierrez, Mark DeSaulnier and Sen. Edward Markey were all among those whom the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) matched against a database of 2,500 criminal mugshots using Amazon's software -- which the ACLU pitched as evidence that Congress should consider regulating facial recognition tech.
