Good governance of facial recognition devices can better protect personal data

China Daily  

As the 2024 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit unfolds in Wuzhen, a water town in East China's Zhejiang province, from November 19 to 22, with artificial intelligence as its centerpiece, the broader implications of emerging technologies, including facial recognition devices, demand attention. Given the grave threat the pandemic posed to people's health and life, the installation of facial recognition devices to collect facial data in public places, including universities, government buildings, plazas, railway stations, airports and hospitals was justified. But is it still necessary and legal to maintain and even increase the use of facial recognition devices in public places? Except for certain places where tight public security is always needed to ensure the safety of people and safeguard national security, public places such as universities, shops and communities must follow strict legal procedures for collecting and handling personal data using facial recognition devices. Steps should also be taken to ensure facial recognition devices and software follow safe practices and better safeguard personal data security.
