With the development of artificial intelligence, face recognition technology is integrated into all aspects of social life. According to the CB Insights report, many companies, including Amazon, see facial recognition technology as a revolutionary force in many areas.

In spite of this, there is still an undercurrent beneath the surface of the face recognition boom, and supporters and opponents are engaged in a tug-of-war over their respective positions.

San Francisco issues a ban on face recognition

In May 2019, San Francisco banned the use of face recognition technology by government and law enforcement agencies, becoming the first city to ban the technology. Massachusetts and Oakland, Calif., are also considering suspending the use of face recognition technology until it is perfected.

Proponents of the ban believe that face recognition is on the verge of abuse, and people's privacy is difficult to guarantee, even a "Truman world"; recognition accuracy is also a much-criticized aspect. A study by the MIT scientific team pointed out that face recognition technology is very low in identifying skin color, which may lead to unfair arrests.

Opponents of the ban believe that this will greatly reduce the degree of social security and lead to an increase in violations.

The disadvantages of face recognition outweigh the advantages, or the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

In fact, any technology is constantly upgraded in the process of attack and defense, and finally achieves a balance between convenience and security.

Face recognition is promoting the positive development of the whole society. Taking the search for relatives as an example, the Fujian Public Security Bureau has established a database of the search system. Within a year, the number of cases of finding persons has increased from more than 200 to more than 1000, and seven missing children have been recovered through cross-age identification technology.

In the United States, Customs and Border Protection has partnered with airports and airlines to deploy face recognition solutions using biometric cameras to help identify illegal stayers, which have so far helped identify 7000 overdue visas.

In addition, face recognition technology has also made extraordinary achievements in hunting for lawbreakers and maintaining public order, as well as retail, literature and tourism and other industries.

Yan Shuicheng, vice president of Qihoo 360 and professor at the National University of Singapore, said that a new technology is valuable if it can meet the demand in a particular situation and its risk is acceptable.

The forward application of face recognition still needs the joint efforts of many parties.

Face recognition is not without risks, in order to achieve the correct application, we need the joint efforts of the public security department, the data source supply department and the face recognition technology provider company.

At a time when face recognition applications have sprung up everywhere and developed rapidly, it is urgent for the government to legislate to strengthen data supervision. At present, facial scanning is mainly used in public safety and public transportation. under normal circumstances, there is a certain guarantee for the security of face recognition in the public system, but in order to avoid the disclosure of citizenship and privacy, the relevant departments need to strengthen the supervision and protection of the collected citizen face data by themselves and third-party agencies. At the same time, enterprises should also continue to improve the accuracy and security of face recognition technology.

Conclusion: what kind of changes face recognition technology will bring to social life, the key lies in how to use and develop. Under the premise that security is fully guaranteed, it is not impossible to apply face recognition in various fields. As Daniel Castro, vice president of ITIF, said: "banning facial recognition will allow us to use outdated products in the future." Of course, it is worth noting that people in daily life facial scanning should be careful, in the premise that it is not foolproof, especially do not use the face as a "key" to unlock key information.
