Title: Legal and Ethical Considerations of Face Recognition
Abstract: Computing technology, artificial intelligence, and computer vision have had many well-publicized problems and limitations, raising considerable recent discussion about the ethics of IT, AI, and CV. Legislation has been introduced or is being considered at all levels to regulate, and in some cases disallow, various technologies and their uses. Automatic face recognition is a particularly interesting case, with complex ethical and legal implications. How should governments, companies, and citizens address such issues? What are our responsibilities as researchers and developers? Let’s discuss.
