Facial Recognition Technologies: A Primer
This primer is written for a non-technical audience to increase understanding of the terminology, applications, and difficulties of evaluating facial recognition technologies.
The document offers a non-technical overview of facial recognition technologies (FRTs), outlining their definitions, applications across various sectors, and the technical processes involved in face detection and identification.
It discusses the challenges in measuring FRT accuracy, highlights performance variations across contexts and demographic groups, and underscores the importance of considering accuracy, fairness, privacy, and regulatory oversight when deploying these technologies.
