 本期内容:

An Amazon facial recognition tool has wrongly identified 28 members of the US Congress as police suspects. The American Civil Liberties Union compared official photos of the politicians with a database of public arrest photos. Amazon took issue with the findings, saying the system needed to be set at 95% accuracy not the 80% used by ACLU.
