Lockport City School District in western New York will pilot a facial recognition system on its students and faculty next week. The pilot will be part of a pilot project that will make it broadly operational by Sept. 1, 2019. The New York State Education Department has asked Lockport to delay its use of facial recognition technology on students. The move comes amid growing civil rights concerns and worries that the tech may serve to further entrench societal biases. The American Civil Liberties Union says Lockport will be the first public school district to begin using the tech.”]
