Twenty years ago I used to go around telling everyone that the trouble with these facial recognition systems was that they didn't work. These days I find myself spending more time saying the trouble with these facial recognition systems is that they do work.
Over the past five years there has been impressive progress in how well these systems can identify faces. That's not to say that errors are not made. Errors are made, and sometimes they are surprising and difficult to predict, but it's absolutely right that the landscape is changing very quickly and it would change through the duration of a moratorium.
