Description

New research reveals that live facial recognition cameras could make town centers feel unwelcoming to ethnic minority groups, with surveys showing that one in ten would completely avoid areas with these cameras. The technology has been found to be less accurate for some ethnic minorities, although officials claim bias has been removed. The government is now consulting on the use of facial recognition and other biometric technologies, including voice and iris recognition, and object recognition searches based on clothing or vehicles. The public is also being asked if police should have access to other government databases for tracking criminals.
