The Security Industry Association (SIA), the trade association representing more than 1,000 companies and organisations developing and delivering security solutions, thanks the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for its thoughtful and diligent work producing a report evaluating the performance of current facial recognition technology across demographic groups.
Facial recognition is a fast-advancing technology in a constant cycle of improvements and is widely adopted across the public and private sectors. Reports from non-biased organisations like NIST are immensely valuable. SIA commends NIST for encouraging research organisations to examine this issue comprehensively, rather than publish incomplete research in order to generate attention.
