Abstract

Facial recognition (FR) technology has been available in public for years. People hold differing attitudes towards the use of FR technology, as it has the potential to assist society as well as poses ethical threats. By analysing two recent cases of FR technology in campus, this study examines the complex relationship between FR technology and education. Although the deployment of FR in campus has been criticized due to the technical biases and ethical concerns, there are certain apparent ‘good-fits’ between them, and to a large extent, this particular context can provide a form of “infrastructural ease” for introducing the FR technology.
