Facial recognition technology uses software to identify individuals based on their facial features, and can be used to monitor public spaces and enhance security measures. Proponents argue that it enhances public safety by identifying and preventing potential threats, and helps in locating missing persons and criminals. Opponents argue that it infringes on privacy rights, can lead to misuse and discrimination, and raises significant ethical and civil liberties concerns.

It’s not neede but at your own advantage it fine it use but on the flip side technology can not always be trusted and they working of it
@B2XGB6S3mos3MO
yes, but I feel like it should be available for all agency to use and have complete transparency to the United States Citizens, unless it threatens national security.
@B2F43354mos4MO
Ai is getting too good and ive already had AIs steal one of my accounts so i don't want any more ways for ai to get in.
@B2DPB8R4mos4MO
Yes, but only if it is tightly regulated, used with transparency, and is targeting criminal hotspots
@9ZN4FDDRepublican6mos6MO
Yes, but only for targeting criminal hotspots and protecting vulnerable communities with complete transparency but keeping in mind the government overreach when implementing
@9XCVSZ76mos6MO
No, because it would cost lots of tax payer money and it would have to be kept up regularly due to plastic surgery, aging, and other face altering occurrences (ie traumatic surgery).
Since facial recognition is new and not everyone has access to updated tech like cell phones, computers and other tech devices it should not be required but an option to how they want to be identified.
@9XBR9PW6mos6MO
No, this is a violation of privacy and should only be used if there is a dangerous criminal in an area
@9X62V8X6mos6MO
Yes, but only in public and government owned areas to identify fleeing suspects but only law enforcement and the government should have access to this technology.
@9WVD7FN6mos6MO
No, this is an invasion of privacy for an average citizen and with the current environment surrounding AI and the capabilities of both it and people to modify or even eliminate video feeds/evidence, it could very easily lead to wrongful arrests or worse.
In between , only because it can be invading of one’s privacy and their rights as a human. On the other hand it can come in handy for a lot of different reasons
I think that this would be a good option if the facial recognition technology was accurate. A faulty system could result in people being wrongfully accused of something.
@9VR6LZW7mos7MO
Yes, with outside restrictions on how this information is being used and forbidding the usage of it for financial purposes
@9VHS4CZ7mos7MO
facial recognition could be useful but cause more problems because people with similar features to criminals could get in legal trouble because of an error with it and also because it could see a real criminal and not detect them.
@9VFGVZJ7mos7MO
this is an invasion of privacy, but it is also necessary, because people with malicious intentions will take any workaround they can get.
@9V3CMW77mos7MO
I don't think this question should be removed but in my personal opinion I feel it is an unnecessary question compared to the more serious issues.
@9TZS6Q97mos7MO
This goes with the No stance, but I wanted to add more context and say that if people get power hungry, they might use that system to control the lives of the people
Due to modern technology facial recognition can be fault, due to ai and photographic altering. You can't trust face recognition. And should only be used as reference not fact
@9T9GP72Independent8mos8MO
No because everything is becoming technology soon humans wont even be needed for basic day to day jobs
I think the government should do this but I also worry about people feeling like they're being tracked by the government
@9T2N7NVProgressive8mos8MO
Im in between both answers because yes it would make the public safer but at the same time anyone can be recognized and their privacy would be violated
@9SZGT2T8mos8MO
This is tough. I am for more public safety, but this concerns my rights to privacy. I can see this being abused.
@9SZ7HWX8mos8MO
Yes as long as its not the only source of evidence for conviction and is heavily audited and regulated
@9SQVPDH8mos8MO
No, and the government should be prohibited from collecting and storing biometric data of U.S. citizens
@9YM6R9C6mos6MO
It could be a good idea in hindsight its an invasion of privacy and could lead to an abrupt outroar.
@9X2QBT56mos6MO
Yes, but we will make sure that the people who work this will be unbiased and will not be used for bad
@9W82HJC7mos7MO
I believe we already are, but there should be more transparency and oversight. It is justified in certain cases
@9VL3S8R 7mos7MO
This would bring in hacking to more of an advanced level. As well as the fact that the system could malfunction at any moment.
@9SN5ZBR8mos8MO
Not really, as it will not allow privacy and can be taken advantage of by killers, or stalkers who can use it against their victims.
@9S9GPSZ9mos9MO
No, not until it is merely impossible for it to make a mistake and there are strong laws on them to prevent it from crossing people's civil liberty.
@9MKWNW412mos12MO
Yes but it should be only used in emergency situations.
in the terms it maintains peoples privacy with the surveillance only happening outside of houses and in the road.
@9STDBC28mos8MO
I think this is tricky because to a certain extent it would be okay but when used unfairly could be really uncomfortable
@9NJFY9R11mos11MO
Government should Only use facial recognition software on people they are actually looking for like criminals
@9T8N7V98mos8MO
yes but only to a limited degree, no tapping into personal items, mainly cause they can just raid our houses and residences anyways
@9SXBCYN8mos8MO
Yes, but should be only used when a criminal event occurred and shouldn't be easily accessible to the public or government officials.
@9RSPPYD 9mos9MO
Depends on why they need to use it. I think the technology should be available but not used to invade people's privacy.
@9Q5PCYM10mos10MO
No, unless this technology is individualized and limited only to specific individuals whom the government is investigating for suspected criminal activity.
@9TDHSY28mos8MO
Hypothetically, yes. But our government often abuses its power. And facial recognition tracking systems is a lot of power.
@9W4BS45Republican7mos7MO
I think that they should be able to use the cameras to scan peoples faces but they should only be used if a crime is being solved or hey have a lead and they are trying to find there bad guy. But they cant do it just because they want to.
@9ZMSPHC6mos6MO
unless there is a way that it can be tightly regulated and used with transparency and humans could not misuse it or be used in a way for the government to control citizens
