Just sharing this article from yesterday. Highlights that we are in a completely new market without regulations. The internet was revolutionary and was new once too. Now it's a part of our every day life.

Main/relevant excerpts below:

- Brad Smith, the President of Microsoft, issued a public warning about the terrifying ways facial recognition technology could be used to exploit and abuse all of us

- Smith has been vocal about the same issue in the past, repeatedly calling for America’s leaders to regulate and limit facial recognition software. Of course, asking for vague regulations from lawmakers that Smith knows almost never agree on matters of technology, surveillance, or privacy, might not be the most surefire strategy.Nobody asked us, but maybe a better approach might be to stop creating and selling facial recognition systems at Microsoft.

- Many of the giant tech corporations, including Amazon and Google, have been under fire lately for controversial defense and government contracts.
