Part 10/15:
The technology’s potential for abuse is stark. Consider:
Private entities or governments compiling massive facial databases.
Use for mass surveillance and social control, akin to China's social credit system.
Private companies screening employees, customers, or visitors without informed consent.
Law enforcement identifying individuals in crowds in real-time, potentially leading to wrongful detentions or discrimination.
One particularly troubling case involved MSG in New York, which used facial recognition not just for security but to ban lawyers with active lawsuits against the venue. By scraping their photos from online profiles, they effectively identified and excluded targeted individuals—a stark abuse of power.
