Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Facial recognition technologies (FRT) are spreading rapidly worldwide, and have become embedded in numerous everyday government and corporate practices. This widespread adoption has prompted extensive criticism, particularly from civil society groups concerned about human rights abuses and discriminatory impacts for marginalized and vulnerable communities. In Identified, Tracked, and Profiled, Peter Dauvergne provides a much-needed and thoroughly comprehensive overview of the regulatory issues and policy disputes around FRT. This book is essential reading for those interested in political contests over our changing digital landscape.’ -- Ron Deibert, University of Toronto, Canada
