Facial Recognition Report
Lucas D. Introna and Helen Nissenbaum have put together a comprehensive look at facial recognition. The title of the report is Facial Recognition Technology: A Survey of Policy and Implementation Issues.
The report:
highlights the potential and limitations of the technology, noting those tasks for which it seems ready for deployment, those areas where performance obstacles may be overcome by future technological developments or sound operating procedures, and still other issues which appear intractable. Its concern with efficacy extends to ethical considerations.
For the purposes of this summary, the main findings and recommendations of the report are broken down into five broad categories: performance, evaluation, operation, policy concerns, and moral and political considerations.
Introna also wrote a more scholarly paper a few years ago on facial recognition titled, Picturing Algorithmic Surveillance: The Politics of Facial Recognition Systems.
