ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Three cameras in public spaces are being used to test an Amazon-made facial recognition tool on more than a half dozen officers and the tool is merely in a pilot-program stage, a Florida police chief said Thursday.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina said that the officers volunteered to test the technology with the surveillance cameras in downtown Orlando, along with another five cameras in police headquarters. His comments came at a news conference in response to concerns by privacy advocates, who worry the technology could be abused.
