Scott called the pilot “a mistake,” citing not just privacy but also bias concerns — the technology has been known to misidentify women and people with darker skin — as well as a lack of regulatory oversight.

“This is a mistake — not only because of the ongoing privacy and bias issues but because of the long term implications of using our face as our ID,” Scott said.

“This is because the US lacks an overarching law to regulate the use of facial recognition to ensure the necessary transparency, accountability, and oversight to protect our privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights,” he added.
