Further Attempts to Ban Computerised Facial Recognition in the UK
/The UK should ban all use of facial recognition technology until a clear legal framework has been developed to regulate it, an independent report has said.
A new report from the Ada Lovelace Institute has said there is an “urgent” need for a new framework governing “biometric” technologies – including facial recognition technologies – before they are deployed against the public by either public or private bodies.
The independent report, written by Matthew Ryder QC (Queen’s Counsel - a senior lawyer), said the government should temporarily ban all use of these technologies, until legislation is in place, as it said a legally binding code governing the use of facial recognition tech should be published as soon as possible.
