立法人员希望禁止联邦政府使用面部识别

Lawmakers want to ban the federal government from using facial recognition

四名民主党议员希望禁止联邦政府使用面部识别技术。该组织由马萨诸塞州参议员Edward J. Markey和俄勒冈州参议员Jeff Merkley领导,计划向国会提交《面部识别和生物识别技术暂停法案》(the Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology pause Act)。如果获得通过,该法案将禁止联邦当局在使用语音识别等其他生物识别工具的同时使用该技术。或许更重要的是,州和地方实体,如执法机构,则需要通过它们自己的暂停令来从联邦政府获得资金。

Four Democratic lawmakers want to ban the federal government from using facial recognition technology. Led by Massachusetts Senator Edward J. Markey and Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, the group plans to introduce The Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act to Congress. If passed, the bill would prohibit federal authorities from using the technology alongside several other biometric tools like voice recognition. Perhaps even more significantly, state and local entities, including law enforcement agencies, would need to pass their own moratoriums to secure funding from the federal government.
