The Use of Live Facial Recognition Technology by Private Entities in Public Places: A Study of Recent Case in Japan
Résumé
In July 2021, East Japan Railway Company introduced a face recognition function to some of its security cameras. However, the company was criticized by society for not fully disclosing its detailed operation policy, and later withdrew some of its operations. Recently, Japan has seen an increase in the number of indiscriminate killings and injuries on trains, and there are growing calls for the need for AI-based countermeasures against suspicious persons. Therefore, why did East Japan Railway Company receive social criticism? In this paper, I would like to clarify the reasons and explore the ideal form of legal regulation for facial recognition systems used by private entities.
