The effectiveness of this watchdog role is less clearly understood. While this practice is not new, the efficiency of such searches has significantly improved using automated facial recognition,” she said.The mass media's influence on the ethics of public life, as characterized by the press's watchdog role in monitoring the conduct of government officials, is assumed to be vital to democracy. “Law enforcement has performed photo lineups for decades. In addition, Del Greco explained that when the FBI created its Next Generation Identification (NGI) system, which uses facial recognition technology and allows authorized personnel access to a database of mug shots, it did so with best practices in mind. “Facial recognition is a tool that, if used properly, can greatly enhance law enforcement capabilities and protect public safety,” she said. Kimberly Del Greco, FBI deputy assistant director, testified that the bureau’s use of facial recognition follows strict protocols, and the database is accessed only in formal investigations or assessments. “There are due process concerns when it’s used by the FBI and the federal government,” Jordan said. In May, 20 states provided the FBI with license and vehicle registration information without requesting consent from their citizens. Jordan also cited violations of consent and privacy. Those mistakes disproportionately impact African Americans,” Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (D-Ohio) said.
“There are all kinds of mistakes when facial recognition technology is implemented. And research has shown that facial recognition technologies are not as proficient at identifying darker-skinned individuals and women. Forbes conducted its own test, cited during Tuesday’s meeting by Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), in which cybersecurity reporter Thomas Brewster was able to spoof several Android phones by using a 3D-printed head.
Accuracy of the technology is also in question. Last month San Francisco banned the use of the technology for surveillance by law enforcement. Concerns regarding the fallibility of the technology are growing.īoth government and commercial use of facial recognition have been called into question.
