[AfrICANN-discuss] [OT] Who's is working on Facial Recognition and biometrics tech in Africa?

[Luc Mubay]

Dear Katitza,

I hope this email finds you well.

I have never conducted research upon the topics you mentioned. But, I was
able to collect some website links below treating those topics - since I
have interest on them -  and hopefully they might be of some help.
