The Democratic-controlled House has held a series of hearings on facial recognition software, but Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-California), who serves on the committee, blamed Amazon for a lack of legislation regulating the technology.
“It’s a good first step, but it’s still not enough,” Gomez told CNBC. “They’re saying, ‘we’ve been asking Congress to put guardrails on the use of this technology,’ – but every time we tried to get more and more data they stalled – and we had to have hearings to make movement on the issue.”
