Assessing Automated Facial Recognition Technology

Facial recognition technology has become an increasingly deployed tool in law enforcement, whether checking people as they navigate the airport or even in stop and search. A recent report from Cardiff University explores how effective these technologies have been.

The research evaluated the use of automated facial recognition (AFR) at numerous sport and entertainment events by the South Wales Police force over the course of a year. The analysis found that while the technology can help the police identify suspect individuals they might otherwise have missed, it requires a large investment and considerable changes in standard operating procedures to enable consistent results to be achieved.
