Table 2.
Examples of ethical risks considering FRT and different applicability of its countermeasures
| Examples of risks | Examples of countermeasures | Applicability of countermeasures |
|---|---|---|
| People will be not aware about FRT purpose and aims | Inform people about the use of FRT technologies before entering the area and explain what a person can expect before opt-in |
UC1 Airports—Good UC2 Companies—Good UC3 Stadiums—Good UC4 Streets—Poor |
| People will be forced to be analysed by FRT | Provide separate entrances for conventional access |
UC1 Airports—Good UC2 Premises—Good UC3 Stadiums—Good UC4 Streets—Poor |
| Individual data will be stored and used for other purposes | Decrease the amount of time for which biometric personal data can be stored and require detailed logs of data processing |
UC1 Airports—Good UC2 Premises—Good UC3 Stadiums—Good UC4 Streets—Good |
| FRT will undermine human autonomy and the right to be heard in public places | Ensure that biometric identification will serve as an alternative to the traditional forms of identification, not its complete substitute |
UC1 Airports—Good UC2 Premises—Good UC3 Stadiums—Good UC4 Streets—Poor |
Bold refers to the emphasis on the inability to mitigate the ethical risks associated with open-public spaces
