Amazon Rekognition Review (2026)
Cloud facial recognition with documented racial bias
About Amazon Rekognition
Amazon Rekognition provides cloud-based facial recognition through AWS with documented racial and gender bias confirmed by independent researchers. ACLU studies demonstrated 28 false matches with members of US Congress, disproportionately misidentifying people of color. Amazon imposed a moratorium on police use in 2020 but the API remains available to any customer with an AWS account for any purpose.

ACLU tested against Congress photos. 28 false matches, disproportionately misidentifying people of color.
Sold facial recognition to police knowing about racial bias. Moratorium voluntary and unenforceable.
