As with any technology, there are potential disadvantages to using facial recognition, including privacy and security issues.
Privacy concerns around facial recognition technology.
The most significant privacy implication of facial recognition technology is the use of the technology to identify individuals without their consent.
Artificial intelligence continues to push the capabilities of facial recognition systems in terms of their performance, while from an attacker perspective, there is emerging research leveraging AI to create facial "Master keys," that is, AI generation of a face that matches many different faces, through the use of what's called Generative Adversarial Network techniques, according to Lewis.
Security issues related to facial recognition technology.
"In a world where we rely on faces to confirm identity, whether it be in person on a video call, understanding what is real and what is fake is a critical aspect of security and privacy-even if facial recognition technology is not used."
