Following a critical report , the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has called for a temporary ban on the use of facial recognition.
The AHRC’s report came about due to the lack of regulation and policy on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in facial recognition. Despite Australia’s pursuance of innovation, AHRC’s Commissioner Ed Santow stated that facial recognition technology is opaque and may impact human rights through unethical or unlawful decision-making.
