Kairos Instant Identity Verification powered by AI is the company blog at kairos.com, writing about ai and business. Since 2014, 8 different Hacker News readers have linked it 10 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (7) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers mostly link kairos.com to promote its facial recognition and emotion-analysis API. One commenter cites a CEO article arguing that facial recognition software is not ready for law enforcement.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 7 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
Woah, so this got a bit of interest. To be honest I'm a little surprised this seems to be news to the HN crowd.

on “Face++: API for face detection – also detects gender, age, pose”>Facial recognition technologies, used in the identification of suspects, negatively affects people of color. To deny this fact would be a lie. Since, instead of support for this statement, the CEO of this 'company' decided that shaming his reader would be more effective, I'll give you his support. It's an article that he wrote based on studies that show there are significantly higher error rates in gender and race…

on “Facial recognition CEO: software is not ready for use by law enforcement”Since the site seems to be down, I'll mention that there was an article on Medium covering this artists' work a few days ago: https://medium.com/matter/this-is-what-your-face-looks-like-... Seems like what he did was take Umass' Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset, combine all the faces together and generate a composite rendering.
