Silicon Valley employees are increasingly calling on executives to restrict the use of facial recognition technology, mobilized in part by the U.S. government's previous policy of separating children from parents at the border. Experts say facial recognition regulations are needed - and quickly.
Numerous technology firms now offer facial biometrics recognition search tools for big data sets. But information security expert Alan Woodward warns that these big data sets must be "considered and regulated very heavily" or else we'll be "living in 1984 without knowing it."
In June, Maryland authorities used facial recognition capabilities to comb through 10 million images and identify Jarrod Ramos, the suspect in the Capital Gazette shooting, which left five people dead. One public safety official described the technology as "a valuable tool for fighting crime."
But what are the...
