Nina Loshkajian expresses concerns about facial recognition technology even if it reaches high accuracy levels.
- The technology would be integrated into systems that discriminate in areas like housing and public accommodations.
- It promotes a society where individuals are constantly tracked everywhere they go.
- The effectiveness in enhancing public safety is questionable as criminals can evade identification.

2:47:17
Facial recognition.

Nina Loshkajian
2:47:27
Yes.
2:47:28
As I mentioned in my testimony, even if the tool itself is 99% accurate.

It will be plugged into systems that are discriminatory in housing, in public accommodations.

And as Shane mentioned, you know, that's not the world we wanna live in, that you are tracked every single place you go.
2:47:47
And even if we just don't think it's effective, you know, even if it were to be able to accurately identify every single person that walks into a sure.

You're just against the the technology that absorbs us.
Nina Loshkajian
2:48:03
Right?
2:48:03
Yes.
2:48:04
And and if it if it could actually make people safer, you know, that's another discussion.
2:48:11
But, you know, people who want to commit theft, they will put on a mask and, you know, I don't think we'll ever reach a point where that kind of

Let's just talk about Canvas because if you if I may, you know, a chair, just one more because Albert and I had some to discussions in the past on this.
