The third episode of this season of the Declarations Podcast delves into the topic of live facial recognition. Host Maryam Tanwir and panelist Veronica-Nicolle Hera sat down with Daragh Murray and Pete Fussey, who co-authored the “Independent Report on the London Metropolitan Police Service’s Trial of Live Facial Recognition Technology” in July 2019. Live facial recognition (LFR) has been a widely debated topic in the past years, both in the UK as well as internationally. While several campaign organisations advocate against the use of this technology based on the Prohibition of Discrimination, independent academic research on the topic reveals important insights into various trials of this technology. Our guests are at the forefront of this research and in this episode present some of their findings.
