CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The hometown of Harvard and MIT is considering banning the use of facial recognition technology by city departments.
Cambridge Mayor Marc McGovern and two other city councilors proposed an ordinance Tuesday banning the computer programs, which identify and track people by analyzing videos and photos. Critics say the surveillance and investigative tools invade privacy and are prone to error.
