Several Major Australian Stadiums Reportedly Using Facial Recognition Technology

Several Major Australian Stadiums Reportedly Using Facial Recognition TechnologyA report from consumer advocacy organisation Choice has revealed that several major Australian stadiums may be using facial recognition technology – and that visitors have largely been left in the dark about it. The consumers don’t really have a choice.”While we’re previously reported on the Australian Turf Club using facial recognition (and being proud of it??? ), Choice has found that, of Australia’s 10 major stadiums, four are using facial-recognition technology, while it’s unclear if two are. Sydney Cricket Ground, Allianz Stadium, Melbourne Cricket Ground, and Qudos Bank Arena were found to use facial recognition technology, while Accor Stadium, Marvel Stadium, Commbank Stadium, and Optus Stadium do not. RAC Arena and Suncorp Stadium note in their privacy policies that facial recognition technology may be used at the venue.
