Within a week of the corporate name change, the popular social media Facebook appeared with this new surprise.
According to the tech giant, they are going to turn off the facial recognition feature this time. The feature allows Facebook to automatically identify users through photos and videos. Facebook made the announcement amid ongoing criticism of the technology.
Jerome Pesenti, vice president of artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence at Facebook, said a clear policy process is underway to control the use of the face recognition process. In the midst of this uncertainty, the Facebook authorities consider it appropriate to limit the use of face recognition.
Critics say the face recognition technology is gaining popularity among retailers, hospitals and commercial establishments in the interest of safety. They could easily monitor the intruder.
