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.

There have been too many documented false positives and misidentifications with these systems in other countries already.
@9RGDDQG8mos8MO
Yes when looking for missing persons and persons of a high security risk snd potential major crimes. It should not be used for a means to tag people or incriminate them nefariously.
@9Z9FXJP5mos5MO
Convicted criminals for violent, felony, drug and sexual crimes should be tracked using facial recognition, but general population
@9YN38LH5mos5MO
Only around areas like schools, airports, etc where there would be a possible risk posed from pedophiles, etc
@9YMZDFR5mos5MO
Only under certain circumstances egg terrorism, missing persons, tracking criminals not for day to day
@9YMSFS55mos5MO
this is situational depending, it should be disclosed what its purpose and exactly where this data goes, it also should be disclosed where this technology is located
@9ZSPGP84mos4MO
This could be good for looking for a criminal/ missing person but would be very expensive and would need to be used with complete transparency
@9ZM42BY4mos4MO
No, AI for surveillance is not developed enough to rely on. It can be bias towards certain sub groups
