The Way Ahead—How IEEE became my professional home

March 3, 2023 by Ruben Barrera-Michel

I am convinced that everything comes at the right time—not before, not after, but at the precise moment that it is required. I have been a volunteer within IEEE for 22 years, and I previously participated in the Student Advisory Committee (SAC) and its activities. I am honored to have been elected as the 2023 SAC chair, and, as much as I am motivated about it, I also understand the big responsibility and challenges that will be involved in leading the activities and goals of more than 120,000 students around the world, and I won’t take them lightly.

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.
