Microsoft announced it will stop the distribution of its emotion-reading A.I. and heavily restrict its facial recognition software.
Microsoft announced it will stop the development and distribution of controversial emotion-reading software as big tech companies pivot toward privacy and security. The company also says it will heavily restrict its own facial recognition platform.
“Experts inside and outside the company have highlighted the lack of scientific consensus on the definition of emotions,” Natasha Crampton, Microsoft’s Chief AI Officer, wrote in a company blog post. “…and the heightened privacy concerns around this type of capability.” Microsoft and other tech companies have been working on the technology for several years, along with facial recognition software. The company is making a sudden shift to what they call “Microsoft’s Responsible AI Standard.”
