The article from The Age discusses the concerns of Victoria's Privacy Commissioner, Rachel Dixon, regarding the increasing use of facial recognition technology (FRT) in both public and private sectors. Dixon highlights the potential for significant privacy invasions due to the technology's ability to track individuals' movements and activities without their consent. She points out the lack of robust regulatory frameworks to govern its use, which could lead to misuse or abuse of personal data. The technology's deployment in places like shopping centers, public transport, and by law enforcement raises issues about consent, data security, and the potential for discriminatory practices. Dixon calls for urgent legislative action to ensure that FRT is used ethically and transparently, with clear guidelines on data collection, storage, and usage to protect individual privacy rights.
