Putting ethics first: BS 9347 guides safe and responsible facial recognition deployment

Facial recognition technology (FRT) is already widely in use, either for verification purposes (eg: access control) or identification (eg: finding missing people or known terrorists), but whatever the use case, ethical and legal considerations should be at the forefront of any deployment. BS 9347:2023 is a new national standard that will help with the ethical deployment of FRT.

BS 9347 sets out key ethical considerations

  • Assessing the need for FRT.
  • Types of FRT technology for verification, identification and classification.
  • Governance and compliance.
  • Operational requirements.
  • Data privacy, storage and retention.
  • The use of reference databases.
