Face recognition system is being installed in school canteens in the UK

a This was reported by the Financial TimesThat, from Monday, nine schools in North Ayrshire, Scotland, will be experimentally equipped with facial recognition systems to make paying for lunch faster. The idea was originally due to the pandemic that it could reduce the number of contacts, but it has since been hoped to speed up lunch.

like that Writes EngadgetBoth the schools and CRB Cunningham, who supply the system, promise that they will take care of privacy and security considerations and that the system will not scan the live crowd for live faces, but will only compare samples of previously fed faces with incoming students. Fingerprint reading systems have already been used in schools, so this is just another step towards more complete biometric monitoring. According to the county council, 97 percent of concerned parents agreed to operate the system.

At the same time, British organizations who fear citizens from excessive surveillance and misuse of biometric data are not satisfied with the plan. One of their serious concerns is that introducing facial recognition at school will make it just a matter of routine, meaning that those who are accustomed to having their faces read as part of their daily routine will not speak out against it later.
