FTC decision against IntelliVision Technologies
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a decision against IntelliVision Technologies Corp., addressing misleading claims regarding its facial recognition technology (FRT).
The company falsely asserted that its FRT offered unparalleled accuracy, lacked gender or racial bias, and was impervious to spoofing attempts, such as using photos or videos. It also overstated the size of its training dataset, claiming one million faces when only 100,000 unique individuals were used, supplemented by synthesized variations.
The FTC's decision requires IntelliVision to cease these misrepresentations and prohibits future unsubstantiated claims about its FRT's performance. To support any future claims, the company must conduct and document rigorous, expert-reviewed testing, covering various parameters, such as testing methodology, demographic diversity, and results consistency.
