The issue with using facial recognition
software in everyday lives is something that has caught people's
attention. The government in the United
Kingdom has already been exposed as to be using facial recognition in the
street cameras in London. That means
that they are able to see who's on the streets, and what they are doing at all
times. This brings up an issue of the
government invading into the people's privacy, and if what they are doing is
morally correct, even if it is to protect from terrorism. There are people in the United Kingdom who
are trying to get these cameras removed from the streets, but so far to no
avail. The issue is not just found on
the streets, but also in people's homes.
Just last year, Samsung introduced a television set that would have
facial recognition software embedded into it.
It will be able to identify who is standing in front of the tv, and then
display that person's personalized tv guide and favorite programming. That main issue with this feature, is that
there is no way to turn it off. This
opens up possibilities for Samsung to send private information to third parties
or the government.
