ABSTRACT
Facial recognition technology is sweeping into our public and private
lives. The government is deploying it at the border and throughout law
enforcement investigations. Technology companies are building it into their
social networks. Employers are using it to monitor movements and
productivity. As the technology becomes increasingly powerful, accurate,
and versatile, it’s raising more and more privacy and civil liberties
concerns, especially for marginalized or vulnerable populations.
Christopher Calabrese, Vice President for Policy at the Center for
Democracy & Technology will discuss the pros and cons of facial recognition
technology, how it is changing many aspects of our lives, and how
policymakers should address it.
