  • U.S. lawmakers send Amazon (AMZN +0.3%) a list of four questions about its Rekognition facial recognition software's operations and bias. Amazon has a strict deadline of December 13 to respond.
  • Lawmakers sent Amazon a similar letter in late July around the time of an ACLU report that showed Rekognition incorrectly identifying 28 members of Congress when compared to a mugshots database. Amazon replied but not in great detail.
  • Now the lawmakers are saying Amazon "has failed to provide sufficient answers" to concerns over the software's "accuracy issues" and potential to place "disproportionate burdens on communities of color."
  • Read the full letter here.
