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
