Global perspectives on regulating facial recognition technology utilization for criminal justice arrests
摘要
With the capabilities of facial recognition technology (FRT) expanding rapidly in recent years, regulations and policies guiding its use across political contexts are inconsistent and lack clarity. While certain artificial intelligence can help solve crime, for instance, the implications for ethics regarding privacy, bias, accuracy, and consent warrant considerable attention. This study compares the regulatory frameworks for facial recognition technology in criminal justice systems across five democratic countries, highlighting key differences and exploring their implications for privacy and civil liberties. Legal and regulatory responses vary significantly worldwide, emphasizing the need for updated laws tailored to address FRT's nuances. We compare regulations around three key dimensions: legal compliance, ethical alignment, and effectiveness in implementation and offer recommendations for an ethical framework addressing the development, deployment, and regulation of FRT systems.
