The US government is reportedly looking at alternatives to the controversial facial recognition software ID

The Treasury Department and IRS are reportedly looking for alternatives to the controversial facial recognition software ID.me. The agency did n’t cite a reason for the possible change, and did n’t mention any privacy concerns about the service.

‘we believe in the importance of protecting the privacy of taxpayers, while also ensuring criminals are not able to gain access to taxpayer accounts’. The IRS and ID.me did n’t immediately respond to the verge’s request for comment.

The IRS is supposed to roll out the program this summer. Users will have to submit a video selfie using a webcam or mobile device to verify their identity.

Id.Me previously claimed it only uses one-to-one facial matching. This involves matching a user’s face with images of the same face. This exacerbates privacy concerns – politicians, the American Civil Liberties Union, and digital rights advocates have already spoken out about the IRS’ use of the software.
