En la última década, los avances en inteligencia artificial (IA) y sensores han impulsado el desarrollo de la tecnología de reconocimiento facial (FRT), un software capaz de cotejar un rostro humano a partir de una imagen digital o un fotograma de vídeo con una base de datos de imágenes faciales. Esto ha llevado a su rápida adopción en varios sectores, como el de las fuerzas de seguridad, el transporte, la sanidad y la banca.

The development of FRT presents considerable opportunities for socially beneficial uses. For instance, it can find application in face-unlock mechanisms in mobile devices, in granting access to concerts and sporting events, and in attendance-tracking for employees and students. But it also creates unique challenges. To fully grasp these challenges and the trade-offs they may entail and to build appropriate governance processes, it is necessary to approach FRT deployment by examining specific applications. Indeed, passing through an airport border control with face identification, using face-based advertising in retail or employing facial recognition solutions for law enforcement investigations involves very different benefits and risks.
