The IEEE Smart Cities Initiative brings together IEEE’s broad array of technical societies and organizations to advance the state of the art for smart city technologies for the benefit of society and set the global standard in this regard by serving as a neutral broker of information among industry, academic, and government stakeholders. These smart city technologies draw upon expertise in several functional domains.

Privacy implications of facial recognition technology

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has experienced enormous growth and rapid deployment across different sectors of the society in recent years, mostly motivated by safety, security, and commercial applications. However, major privacy questions arise around this technology, and regulators are still working to provide clear set of rules governing its use. This paper focuses on privacy implications of FRT usage. Specifically, we first present the definition of FRT, followed by an analysis of the vulnerability and risks that can potentially arise and how they might be concerning in such context. Finally, we discuss efforts needed to mitigate privacy concerns related to FRT, from both technical and regulatory perspectives.
