Face recognition is widely used in various industries at present. Is face recognition technology really safe?

The hidden worries of face recognition technology in personal privacy and information security.

First, it threatens personal privacy. Face information used in face recognition technology is the only personal biometric information, which is easy to threaten citizens' privacy when the system is not perfect. For example, in February 20 19, Shenzhen? AI+ security? The lack of protection of the company's face recognition database led to data leakage, resulting in unrestricted access to more than 2.5 million people's face information. In September of the same year, ZAO? Does the face-changing App require the user's consent to grant? ZAO？ The right of its affiliated companies to use face photos for free and irrevocably on a global scale was obviously suspected of infringing on users' personal privacy, and was finally interviewed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and asked for rectification. According to the research report of IHS, by 2002 1 year, there will be more than1100 million surveillance cameras in the world, of which more than 50% will be located in China. The lack of protection of related databases, excessive collection of various apps and almost ubiquitous face recognition equipment lead to the tension between face recognition technology and personal privacy. ?

Second, disclose personal information. According to the fourth part of the civil law? Personality right? China adheres to the provisions of the Cyber Security Law and related judicial interpretations? Privacy and personal information? Legislative idea of double protection. Face recognition information is not only related to privacy, but also personal information of citizens who can uniquely identify specific natural persons or reflect their activities. Once the massive face information is leaked, it will be leaked for life because the face is difficult to replace, and even if the information subject succeeds in legally defending rights, it is difficult to restore the original state. Therefore, whether it is a government department or a commercial organization, if it does not abide by laws and regulations in the process of collecting, storing and using face information? Legality, justice and necessity? And then what? Inform? Do you agree Principle, infringement of citizens' personal information may cause corresponding legal responsibility. For example, in May 2020, a fitness center in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province was ordered by Suyu Branch of Suqian City Public Security Bureau to rectify within a time limit and give a warning for illegally collecting facial information of its members. In recent years, many actors have been investigated for criminal responsibility for the crime of infringing citizens' personal information because of illegally obtaining or selling or providing face information to others. ?

Third, there are security risks. At present, face recognition technology is widely used in public safety (criminal identification, border management), place access (institutional access control, property services), information processing (account authentication, document decryption) and other fields, but the application of face recognition technology is not impeccable. Like 20 17? 3? 15? At the party, the host, with the support of technicians, only asked the audience to take pictures of themselves? Face change? Did you crack it? Brush your face and log in? Authentication system. From August 2065438 to August 2008, the defendant Tang broke through the face recognition and authentication system by making a 3D face dynamic map, which led to the transfer of the victim's account property. The users of face recognition technology have different technical conditions and management levels. Some criminals even develop hacking tools to bypass, interfere with or attack the systems and algorithms behind face recognition technology, thus causing downstream crimes such as theft, fraud, intrusion into houses, and endangering the data security, property security and even personal safety of victims. ?
