While I'm glad the evil tech being forced on all of us was finally able to some good for one, but WTF is going on here. A 501c(3) nonprofit has access to camera feeds of what?
Amazon sells this tech to whoever wants it, and billing is based on databases and size of sample.
Amazon Rekognition makes it easy to add image and video analysis to your applications using proven, highly scalable, deep learning technology that requires no machine learning expertise to use. With Amazon Rekognition, you can identify objects, people, text, scenes, and activities in images and videos, as well as detect any inappropriate content.
Disregard, looks like it has a free version
It's not so much about the software for facial recognition, but the data set. What video feed was this non-profit allowed access to? Which other orgs also have access to this data.
