Facial recognition technology once thought to exist only in the realm of science fiction is becoming increasingly ubiquitous and unavoidable. Your iPhone uses it; Facebook uses it; and even the government is using it to identify individuals by the unique characteristics of the human face. Indeed, a 2016 investigation by Georgetowns Center on Privacy and Technology estimated that nearly one in two American adults was already in a law enforcement face recognition network. This webinar will survey some of the ways that various government entities/agencies are currently using facial recognition technology, as well as the attendant litigation and compliance risks faced by private companies. We will then discuss some concerns raised by those uses and responses to facial recognition technology by citizens and lawmakers.
