Description

Madison Square Garden Entertainment has used facial recognition technology to keep some fans out of Rockettes shows, Knicks games, and other events at its properties in recent months. But not just any fans -- attorneys who work for firms with pending litigation against the company.
This week, Leila Nashashibi with the nonprofit Fight for the Future, explains the biases of facial recognition, who controls the information, and the "creep" of technology that concerns her.
In the episode, Nashashibi mentions how people concerned about the technology can get involved, by visiting Fight for the Future or by clicking here.
Sabrina Boyd-Surka of Audacy's KYW in Philadelphia fills in for Mike Rogers this week.
