After stopping the use of facial-recognition software for more than a year amid civil-liberties concerns, the Ohio attorney general’s office is now using it again with the help of a private vendor that has faced multiple lawsuits.
At that time, Yost said BCI would launch an improved facial-recognition system in 2020 with updated driver’s license photos and mugshots. But that replacement – part of the $25 million Ohio Biometric Identification System, or OBIS – isn’t yet capable of conducting facial-recognition searches, and it’s still unclear when it will, Irwin said.
In 2019 and 2020, Irwin said, BCI only conducted “limited searches” using the state’s old facial-recognition program. After state officials stopped using the old program altogether in late 2020, BCI didn’t conduct any facial-recognition searches until Clearview AI was hired in August 2022, according to Irwin.
Gary Daniels of the American Civil Liberties Union said in a statement that his group believes that government use of facial-recognition technology should be banned altogether.
