The panel will discuss the use of facial recognition technology. Diane Greene, former head of Google’s Cloud computing department specified facial recognition technology as “inherent bias”.
Ms. Bryson argued over the treating robots as people vouge under the “Robots Be Slave” a highly cited thesis.
In the year 2018, she stated that it is unethical to not inform people about the proper use of facial recognition technology because of the intricacy of the technology.
In contrast, to humanize robots, “we not only further dehumanize real people but also encourage poor human decision making in the allocation of resources and responsibility,” she wrote.
