IBM Abandons Facial Recognition Products, Condemns Racially Biased Surveillance

IBM announced this week that it would stop selling its facial recognition technology to customers including police departments. The move prompted calls for other tech firms, like Amazon and Microsoft, to do the same.

IBM is the first major technology company to walk away from facial recognition technology amid nationwide protests for racial justice and police reform. Amazon and Microsoft have not followed.
