I interviewed Baltimore City Councilmember Kristerfer Burnett and Kim Sauer, his Chief of Staff & Director of Policy, about Facial Recognition. We take a deep dive into the sincere privacy and ethical concerns around the use of this type of technology.

We discussed how their office is trying to get develop responsible policies /regulations that ensure the safety of our communities, first and foremost. They explain how this technology was once being used in Baltimore City Police Department. Councilmember Burnett passed a temporary moratorium banning the uses and procurement of FRT until policies are put in place to protect privacy rights and combat the potential abuse of this technology.
