Description
Oosto is an Israeli company formerly known as AnyVision specializing in facial recognition and tracking technologies. AnyVision initially gained notoriety for its controversial use in monitoring the West Bank border and rebranded to Oosto in September 2021 after it faced significant backlash for its unethical business practices. Despite claims from Oosto that issues like racial bias have been mitigated, skepticism remains, particularly as the company pushes into even more contentious areas like behavior recognition. In September 2020, AnyVision's/Oosto's shareholders partnered with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. to form a joint venture named SightX. This new company, equally owned by AnyVision’s shareholders and Rafael, focuses on developing advanced AI-recognition technologies for military use.
