Facial recognition technologies with unselective surveillance of public places, including borders’ control, should be banned, the European Parliament (EP) suggested on Wednesday.

The SHARE Foundation welcomed the EP’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Report on Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Law, which demanded from the European Commission (EC) to ban any processing of biometric data from mass surveillance in publicly accessible places, and a moratorium on the judicial application of the facial recognition system until clearly defined conditions are met.

The EP report is not mandatory but is an enormous step toward curbing the irresponsible application of risky technologies in democracies, the Foundation adds.

The vote in the EP, with a majority in favour of the ban, reflects the prevailing mood among the EU population that strongly opposed the application of technologies for non-selective, mass biometric surveillance.

The MEPs decision is seen as a positive signal for an increasing movement advocating the ban of potentially damaging technologies.
