What does the public think about facial recognition technology, and how should this shape regulation? This event will present new quantitative research findings on public attitudes toward police surveillance technology, as the Government considers introducing rules governing police use of facial recognition.

Understanding public perceptions and ensuring citizens know their rights is essential as policymakers weigh up how and when police should use this technology. Our panel brings together experts from policing and academia to discuss what may be needed in regulating facial recognition technology and the future of policing powers.

Join the Policy Institute and Liberty for a discussion on balancing facial recognition technology with public trust, democratic oversight, and human rights.
