Description
Facial recognition technology is being increasingly integrated into various aspects of society, from public spaces to private institutions. This raises concerns about its impact on our understanding of monitoring, surveillance, and privacy. The book provides a critical introduction to facial recognition, exploring its complex social history, technical forms, and conceptual underpinnings. It assesses the arguments for and against the continued uptake of this technology, considering its potential societal consequences. Facial Recognition is an important work that addresses the implications of living in a world where our face is used as identification.
