Privacy Concerns in Facial Recognition Technology

Facial recognition technology has become more prevalent with the introduction of devices like the iPhone X. While it offers convenience and security, concerns have arisen regarding the potential for misuse and privacy violations. Hackers have already found ways to deceive the software with 3D printed masks, and children can easily unlock their parents' phones due to similar facial features. Facial recognition technology has also been used in law enforcement, leading to mistaken identity and false accusations. The Chinese government plans to build a massive face ID database, raising concerns about surveillance and the potential for abuse. Biases and inaccuracies in these systems have also been observed, leading to misunderstandings and perpetuating stereotypes.
