The recent multiplication of experimentations and use cases of facial recognition technologies across Europe and in the world does indeed question the framework within which these devices – which are particularly intrusive and could potentially harm our civil liberties – develop.
- Facial recognition technologies: probabilistic tools that process sensitive data.
- The legal framework surrounding facial recognition technologies in Europe is relatively comprehensive, but its application is fragmented and inefficient.
- Faced with the predominance of the United States and in order to guarantee its citizens’ fundamental rights and freedoms, the European Union needs a robust European standardization system for facial recognition technologies.
