Thales’ vision of a socially accountable, ethical facial recognition system
It is no secret: our face is the least intrusive and most accessible form of biometric identification. Facial recognition is now rooted in our daily actions, whether making financial transactions or unlocking our smartphones in an intuitive yet secure way.
Throughout its history, facial recognition has become a mature, reliable, very accurate and fast matching technology. And while it provides important benefits in a number of use cases, still, fears and concerns exist about its development and adoption.
At Thales, we understand that the global acceptation of facial recognition technology is closely linked to the responsible and transparent use of it. We have a vision of a more secure future, one where transparency, ethics, compliance and accountability coexist.
This position paper reflects Thales' commitment to building trustworthy, socially accountable and ethical facial recognition systems.
