This week, we’re sharing an episode from another Audacy podcast, Something Offbeat, that’s guest-hosted by our own Sabrina Boyd-Surka.

Madison Square Garden Entertainment has used facial recognition technology to keep some fans out of Rockettes shows, Knicks games, and other events at its properties in recent months. But not just any fans -- attorneys who work for firms with pending litigation against the company.

Leila Nashashibi with the nonprofit Fight for the Future, explains the biases of facial recognition, who controls the information, and the "creep" of technology that concerns her.

In the episode, Nashashibi mentions how people concerned about the technology can get involved, by visiting Fight for the Future or by contacting your lawmakers here.
