The Implications of Facial Recognition Technology: An Investigation through the lens of Constitutional, Privacy, and Human Rights Law
Legal issues do not occur in a vacuum. For each new innovative leap forward, there are potential ramifications in business, privacy, strategy, criminal, constitutional, and human rights law. The best lawyers are the ones who recognize the interplay between substantive areas of law and understand how each of the individual threads connects together.
This virtual session, on February 15, 2022 at 12h30 (EST), is a collaboration between the Faculty of Law’s David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights, the International Human Rights Program, and the Future of Law Lab. It will focus on Facial Recognition Technology (“FRT”) and investigate how its ripples affect various fields of law. In particular, the panel will examine the Constitutional, Privacy, and Human Rights impacts of FRT. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear our experts speak to the benefits, challenges, risks, and trends associated with this novel technology as it relates to their specialization.
