Alibaba facial recognition tech specifically identifies Uighurs: IPVM
Alibaba Cloud developed a facial recognition algorithm that can identify a person's ethnicity or whether a person is "Uighur", IPVM reported. Alibaba said it's "dismayed" to learn a unit developed software which can tag ethnicity in videos and that it never intended it to be used in this manner. It added the feature was "trial technology" not intended for customers.
