Despite not making the full policy public, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has revealed insights into its interim policy concerning facial recognition technology (FRT). The testimony submitted to the US Commission on Civil Rights highlights key aspects of the policy announced in December, emphasising its adherence to protecting First Amendment activities.
The policy aims to prevent unlawful use of FRT, establish guidelines for compliant use, and address various aspects, including privacy protection, civil rights, and accuracy. Ethical considerations are integral to the interim policy, with measures in place to prevent discriminatory use of facial recognition and ensure accountability for its deployment.
