Letitia James looking into MSG’s facial recognition tech after lawyers banned
Madison Square Garden has reportedly begun using facial recognition technology to identify and deny entry to its events and the State’s Attorney General Letitia James has questions.
The issue began when MSG allegedly used facial recognition technology to identify and deny entry to a group of lawyers who are affiliated with law firms that represent clients in pending litigation related to MSG. Lawyers from as many as 90 law firms have allegedly been denied entry.
That led to James writing MSG a letter requesting more information from the company as she has concerns that it might run afoul of human rights laws.
