Microsoft refused to sell its face recognition technology to the US police, NBC reported referring to the company’s president, Brad Smith.

“We will not sell facial recognition tech to police in the U.S. until there is a national law in place,” said Smith, speaking via video conference at a Washington Post event. “We must pursue a national law to govern facial recognition grounded in the protection of human rights.”

Earlier, other US corporations IBM and Amazon refused to sell their technologies as well.
