Northern Virginia College Artificial Intelligent Facial Recognition Discussion

Identify a current and unresolved issue in your field of study or future profession and propose a planof action to a researchable audience who has decision-making authority over the issue. The audience shouldbe resistant in part, or in full, to the action.

Advocacy letters may be relatively brief (five to six double-spaced pages) or relatively long (twelve tofifteen double-spaced pages). Regardless of length, they require ample research about a specific issuein the field of study or profession and an authentic audience that has the decision-making authority totake the action the writer recommends. These are not typical “write to your congressionalrepresentative” letters; instead, they must include cited, credible evidence and demonstrate anawareness of what the audience would already know (often referred to as “Comment Letters,”especially when addressed to federal agencies). Students will review examples of these letters toanalyze genre conventions and how research is used to make supported arguments to sophisticatedaudiences.

My current thesis: The government should put a halt on the use of Artificial Intelligent Facial Recognition because the technology has flaws, could be trained to be biased and violates privacy right.

The audience currently of my thesis is the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

You can change the audience and the first reason (the technology has flaws) to a different reason. In the end I would like the thesis still around the concerns of Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition with three reasons and evidence to backup those reasons. Below are examples of advocacy letters, please follow the format of those examples.
