The FBI plans to use Amazon’s Rekognition cloud service to extract information and insights from lawfully acquired images and videos, with the project in the “initiation” phase listed as code-named Tyr.
Amazon’s Rekognition service offers various capabilities, including facial recognition, object detection, and identifying inappropriate content in images and videos.
While Amazon previously pledged to ban police from using Rekognition, the FBI’s use of the service does not technically violate this pledge, but it has raised concerns among privacy advocates and experts.
