Facial recognition technology uses software to identify individuals based on their facial features, and can be used to monitor public spaces and enhance security measures. Proponents argue that it enhances public safety by identifying and preventing potential threats, and helps in locating missing persons and criminals. Opponents argue that it infringes on privacy rights, can lead to misuse and discrimination, and raises significant ethical and civil liberties concerns.

@9X363DG5mos5MO
Yes and no I do feel like some may feel as if they don’t want government having access to face or voice ID
@9T4FVC77mos7MO
facial recognition technology should only be applied to footage for the purpose of investigative work
@9SYC4SQ7mos7MO
Yes, but no discrimination and algorithmic bias. USE HUMAN REVIEWS TO VALIDATE AUTOMATIC AI ANALYSIS
@9SV6BQC7mos7MO
Yes, but only ASIO and AFP should be able to access this data, and it should be managed very carefully.
@9SRJ4QL7mos7MO
No, clear and defined regulation for the use of facial recognition including potential integration with AI should be explored to ensure ethical use.
@9SLZLSW7mos7MO
Although I agree to a certain extent, I worry about the security of the information if in the wrong hands.
@9SJWQ4C7mos7MO
No, because it has been proven in the past to not work and has shown to racially profile (not being able to tell one dark skinned person to another)
@9SG45677mos7MO
Yes, but ensure that the information is private and will only be used to assist criminal activity findings.
