After expressing interest in processing campus security camera footage with facial recognition software, UCLA is backing down.
In a letter to Evan Greer of Fight for the Future, a digital privacy advocacy group, UCLA Administrative Vice Chancellor Michael Beck announced the institution would abandon its plans in the face of a backlash from its student body.
“We have determined that the potential benefits are limited and are vastly outweighed by the concerns of the campus community,” Beck wrote.
