Any of you famous folks out there? Grab your hats, shades and hoodies. According to TechCrunch, Amazon’s facial recognition system now distinguishes the faces of the popular and infamous.

This new feature complements existing Rekognition capabilities like being able to detect people’s emotions and demographics, facial recognition based on your own image sets and object and scene recognition.
