| dc.description.abstract | Facial recognition technology (FRT) is of great interest due to its potential use in different sectors, including aviation, healthcare, marketing, education, military, or security. Moreover, the addition of AI to the FRT means that this technology might have an even greater impact . However, FRT brings potential legal challenges, including privacy, fairness, or accountability, to name a few. These challenges have impacted certain negative attitudes towards this technology. Many stakeholders, privacy advocates, industry members, and even the European Commission have raised some reservations towards FRT. This chapter aims at setting up the current FRT-AI legal scene by conceptualising the technology, the main problems it entails from the fairness, accountability, data protection, and privacy perspectives and proposing some solutions to these conundrums, based on the regulatory instruments from the EU and the US. The chapter demonstrates that the answer to such legal challenges goes through a mixed alliance between law and computer science. | en |
