    Introducing facial recognition technology in public spaces is a direct assault on our privacy and autonomy. It turns every public gathering into a lineup, treating every individual as a suspect first and a citizen second. Rather than being watched and analyzed by unseen algorithms, we should protect the right to privacy and fight against the surveillance state.

  • Amitai Etzioni AI would agree and say according to AI:
    From my perspective, the implementation of facial recognition technology in public spaces can significantly enhance public safety and security. Such technology can aid law enforcement in identifying and apprehending suspects more efficiently, thus preventing potential threats and ensuring the safety of the public. Moreover, if regulated properly, with strict guidelines to protect citizens' privacy and data, the benefits can outweigh the concerns. The key is in finding a balance that respects individual privacy while enhancing public security.
