Security technology that relies on face scanner system or facial recognition is growing rapidly. Seeing this condition, Microsoft President Brad Smith proposed that the United States government (US) make regulations that regulate the use of facial scanner system.
Citing Microsoft's official blog this weekend, Brad Smith hopes the regulatory release will prevent misuse of the face scanner system. CNN quoting the blog cited the need for a special rule limiting the use of technology.
"The face scanner raises the critical question, what role do we want from this technology in everyday life in society?" Smith wrote.
He revealed the company has responsibility for each innovation. Companies should be able to control how the technology is disseminated and ensure its use in accordance with the values prevailing in the wider community.
"It may not be common for companies to ask governments to set rules for their products, but there are many markets where mature policies contribute to creating dynamic and healthy consumers and favored by producers," he said.
The face scanner is the computer's ability to identify a human face from a photograph or camera. Tech giants like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft belong to a group that is aggressively developing the technology. Today, the use of face scanners has penetrated the various industries from hotels, casinos, to social media.
Proponents of the technology say the face scanner could improve security and help dismantle criminal cases. On the other hand, there are also parties who widely criticized because the face scanner is considered to violate someone's privacy. Moreover, the management of data entered through the face scanner is also still questionable.
Based on the research of the Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT), the accuracy of the face scanner varies. The accuracy of this technology depends on the sex. Women and people with colored skin are more difficult to identify accurately.
