A trial of live facial recognition cameras at London railway stations has concluded, with the technology producing one false positive match during the operation. The scheme tested the use of the cameras to identify people of interest in busy transport hubs. The reported misidentification is renewing debate about the accuracy of facial recognition and its place in public-space policing and surveillance.
Why now: Concerns about surveillance and wrongful identification keep facial recognition trials controversial and widely discussed.
