I'm starting to think we have the need of something like the ICAN for facial recognition (FR), promoting the regulation of FR worldwide. There a little valid systems where FR is truly helpful. Most of todays applications are around things like "access control" and "tag your friends here", i.e. banalities which are either unnecessary or can be solved with simpler tech.
On the other hand the risks are incredible, FR in combination with AR systems could completely eradicate privacy. Autocratic governments could use it for a new levels of surveillance. Military usage could perfect the use of autonomous weapons etc.
It's just not worth it and should be internationally outlawed. Just like A-bombs and chemical warfare.
