It's got some cool ways to use it, obviously, unlock your phone or if you ever end up working

in a building where it uses your face as your key card to get in the building or that sort

It is absolutely a cherished new tool for totalitarian regimes, so we're a little uncomfortable

with it and exploring it.

Are pro-this sort of technologies, is that correct?

That's right.

I see a lot of potential benefits and how can you use it.

So are you a communist?

Well, that's an interesting thing that you would ask that because San Francisco is working

on becoming the first city in America to ban facial recognition software.

They're a lefty city and they think it's a scary thing.
