AI Now Institute — policy-influence: Advocated for facial recognition moratoriums; influenced bans in multiple US cities (San Francisco 2019, Portland 2020, and others)

NoteThe source text discusses AI Now's research outputs (annual reports, algorithmic impact assessments framework) and partnerships, but contains no information about facial recognition moratoriums or influence on specific city bans. While the article mentions AI Now's policy research and work with organizations like the ACLU, it does not specifically address the claim about facial recognition policy wins. The claim references concrete policy influence as 'one of AI Now's most concrete policy wins,' but this specific achievement is not documented in the provided Wikipedia excerpt.

NoteThe source text provided is an excerpt from the AI Now Institute Wikipedia page that covers founding, mission, and general research focus. While it mentions AI Now's work on social implications of AI and policy research, it does not contain any information about facial recognition moratoriums or specific city bans. The claim references specific policy wins (San Francisco 2019, Portland 2020) as of 2020, but the source excerpt does not address these specific achievements. The source would need to contain explicit information about these facial recognition bans to confirm or contradict the claim.
