Image Recognition
(Yicai) Aug. 9 -- China, a pioneer in facial recognition technology, has drawn up rules on its use to protect people’s personal information amid widespread concern. Users of the technology that install face-scanning cameras in public spaces or store the facial recognition data of more than 10,000 people need to file a record with regulators within 30 working days, the draft rules also state. The main issues with the use of facial recognition technology are the failure to obtain informed consent, substandard privacy policies, and the risk of personal information being abused, Yang said. Personal information as a special data resource has a cleat value, Yang said, adding that economic interests increasingly lead businesses to violate the right to privacy. Moreover, network security risks are becoming dangerous because of generative artificial intelligence and large language models, he added.
