FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY: A CALL FOR THE CREATION OF A FRAMEWORK COMBINING GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND A COMMITMENT TO CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Chun_Final

Abstract: At a fundamental level, the misuse of facial recognition endangers
privacy, human rights, and constitutional rights. However, merely
banning facial recognition will not address or solve the issues and
risks inherent in the use of facial recognition. Rather than an
outright ban, developing specific limitations controlling how or
when facial recognition can be used in public or private spaces can
better serve public interests. This paper suggests creating a
framework that combines government regulation and a commitment
to social responsibility by developers. Creating this multi-prong
framework can help distribute the burden of regulating facial
recognition technology amongst parties such as the government, the
companies developing the technology, and the end-users. Finally,
assessing the risk levels of different uses of facial recognition
technology will further allow proper allocation and distribution of
this burden amongst the parties.
