Technical Note on the Risks of Using Facial Recognition Technologies in Public Security Applications
Published in Whitepaper, 2022
Abstract
In 2022, the Porto Alegre (RS, Brazil) city government said it plans to expand the use of facial recognition cameras in public spaces. This type of technology, Facial Recognition Technology (FRT), will be used for public safety purposes. However, what are the risks associated with using this type of technology, and what should you know before you form an opinion on the subject? In this paper, “Technical Note: Risks of Using Facial Recognition Technologies for Public Safety Purposes,” researchers from the AI Robotics Ethics Society (AIRES) and the Network for Ethical and Safe Artificial Intelligence (RAIES) present arguments from the technical (regarding the technology), legal (regarding the legality of FRTs), and ethical (regarding the moral problems we face when using FRTs) arenas. Our work can inform the discussion on the use of FRTs for public safety purposes.
