The Federal Trade Commission has set the lineup for its workshop next month that will examine the privacy and security impact of facial recognition technology.

 

From the FTC: “Facial recognition technology has been adopted in a variety of new contexts, ranging from online social networks to digital signs and mobile apps. Its increased use has raised a variety of privacy concerns. The FTC workshop will gather consumer protection organizations, academics, business and industry representatives, privacy professionals, and others to examine the use of facial recognition technology and related privacy and security concerns.”
