Doctors are licensed. Some construction engineers are licensed. Health departments can pull the permit of an unsafe restaurant to operate. It’s all for public safety. The same goes for AI.

Microsoft has urged “thoughtful government regulation” of facial recognition technology. All this is something to watch.
