Chapter 9 Blog

What are the ethical dilemmas associated with using facial recognition software? Is the use of this type of software really any different from a store asking to see your driver’s license when you use your credit card? Why or why not? Should the government be able to place digital video cameras on every street corner and use facial recognition software to monitor your movements? Why or why not?

Facial recognition software is a biometric software that provides identification by evaluating facial characteristics. The ethical dilemmas associated with using facial recognition software are people could be identifying you from a distance without you even knowing so. I think it is much different from a store asking for your driver’s license when you’re using your credit card because you are giving them permission to look at your identification care. I do not believe the government should be able to place digital video cameras on every street corner to use facial recognition to monitor peoples every movement. Although it would help identify people committing crimes, I do not believe they should be spying on peoples every movement.
