Microsoft Restricts Its Facial Recognition Tools, Citing the Need for 'Responsible AI'

Other companies, includingAmazonandFacebook, have also scaled back or discontinued their own facial recognition tools.

“[Our laws] have not caught up with AI’s unique risks or society’s needs.

Microsoft’s standards for equitable and responsible AI technology don’t stop at facial recognition.

They also apply to the speech-to-text tech the company offers through Azure AI’s Custom Neural Voice.
