Is facial recognition technology a good idea?
Published 4 years ago
Description
Gardaí will soon be using facial recognition technology to crack cases and help win convictions. But the technology is already widely available. For a small fee, online services can find images of you that you may not have known were out there.
Crime correspondent Conor Gallagher has tested out one such online service, Pimeyes. He talks with Sorcha Pollak about how it can be used and abused.
Conor also looks at the Gardaí's plan to use the technology. Does it work, and is it safe?
