Tech-giant Microsoft has hired US Attorney General Eric Holder to audit an Israeli facial recognition company called AnyVision. It is the same company that Microsoft invested in. Holder has been appointed to find out whether it complies with the Redmond-based company's ethical principles guiding its work with the technology. AnyVision's facial recognition technology is used by the Israeli military at border crossing checkpoints.
