from The 443 - Security Simplified · host Secplicity

This week, the ACLU tested Amazon’s “Rekognition” facial recognition software, comparing 25,000 mugshots and members of US Congress with interesting results. What does this mean to the future of facial recognition in law enforcement and machine learning as a whole? Also, we are now only two weeks out from the annual Black Hat and DEF CON security conferences in Las Vegas. We’ll preview what you can expect if you attend as well as the talks we are looking forward to the most.
