In an annual report of the European Commission , the European Union's policy enforcement body, it was revealed that the EU is considering temporarily banning the use of facial recognition technology in public places . According to the annual report, an initial draft on 'ban on face recognition technology' was compiled. The final version of the draft will be released in February 2020 after extensive review of artificial intelligence regulations.
The initial draft of the 'ban on facial recognition technology' is based on EU General Data Protection Regulations and 'uses not only automatic processing but also profiling-based use.' According to this, there is a possibility that 'a time-limited ban system will be introduced for the use of face recognition technology in public places'.

Specifically, 'The use of facial recognition technology in individuals or celebrities in public places is banned for a certain period of time (3-5 years), during which the impact of the technology and possible risk management measures will be developed and risk assessment will be conducted. A sound methodology can be set up for this, 'the initial draft wrote.
According to the British media The Guardian, 'One of the benefits of Britain's withdrawal from the EU is' artificial intelligence 'as the EU often tries to formulate policies that hinder progress in the field of artificial intelligence, such as the' ban on facial recognition technology. ' Advances in the field of intelligence ”. Many critics have also pointed out that the European Commission is 'too cautious about new technologies.'

Face recognition technology is one of the fastest growing fields in recent years. In the United Kingdom, several local police use facial recognition systems to match the faces of the public with those of the suspect. The system has often been the critic of the high false positive rate, but in September 2019 a high court in London said that the face recognition system used by South Wales police was `` human rights law or data protection law. '' It does not violate '.

Must serve the purpose and the people, so the trust and security of EU citizens is central to the EU's strategy, data is an essential ingredient for artificial intelligence, In order to generate wealth, we need to unlock and leverage the data generated in Europe, the EU is the world leader in most innovative areas, and Europe needs the tools needed to succeed in the industry. Everything is available. '
