Abstract

Facial recognition technology (FRT) is a type of biometric technology that uses a digital image of one's face and uses algorithms to match that image in a database. This type of technology has been adopted by individuals when using their mobile devices and automobiles and to access restricted areas or events. FRT has also been adopted by law enforcement and the government to support crime detection and prevention. In addition to the benefits, the associated cyber security problems, legal issues, and ethical challenges of privacy and discrimination are explored. Understanding ethical theories permits the public and decision-makers to make informed choices to influence changes in law to support the changing environment for FRT. Recommended solutions are included along with future research that addresses face connect in automobiles, state law, and ethical comparisons.
