Amazon-Owned Ring Says Its Cameras Don't Use Facial Recognition But It's Openly Working On The Tech

There are now more than 10 million Ring doorbells installed worldwide and BuzzFeed News found evidence that the company is working to develop facial recognition technology for its devices in Ukraine.

Amazon-owned home security company Ring has long maintained that its video-enabled doorbells do not use facial recognition technology. On Wednesday, it reaffirmed that commitment to the Washington Post, stating that its devices do not employ the controversial tech that some US cities have banned.

“Ring does not use facial recognition technology,” a company spokesperson told BuzzFeed News on Thursday, repeating the claim.

has been a real thing since the early nineties. Will not be surprised if it has been deployed in most major Cities. Part of the Fusion Program is the use of Facial Recognition tools.
