I agree with you that the use of facial recognition by police services may raise serious issues.
We heard from witnesses from Princeton University in the United States who said that, while governments play a leading role in the use of this technology, private businesses also have a role. For example, there can be serious consequences if you use it to determine what kind of credit risk a citizen presents. Its use is based on a theory that's built on evidence that's insufficient to justify that use.
Ms. Kosseim, thank you very much for citing the five key elements in the guidelines. Do you think they may also apply to the private sector?
