19 Dec 2023 Rite Aid CorporationFTC: five-year ban on AI facial recognition for Rite Aid after false alerts USAAI systems Order

According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the pharmacy chain used AI facial recognition in hundreds of stores from 2012 to 2020, which falsely flagged customers – particularly women and people of colour – as shoplifters; accuracy was neither tested in advance nor monitored, and employees were not adequately trained. Under the proposed settlement order (subject to approval by the bankruptcy court and the federal court), Rite Aid may not use the technology for surveillance for five years and must delete images and algorithms developed from them; in addition, the FTC alleges a violation of its 2010 data security order.

What organisations can take from it
