Cyberlaw, Ethics and Privacyintermediate
Which of the following is a documented technical risk associated with implementing campus facial-recognition surveillance?
Answer
False matches and false rejections leading to misidentification
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **A** is true: technical risks include false matches and false rejections.
- **B** is true: cybersecurity risks include theft, misuse, alteration, or unauthorized sharing of biometric data.
- **C** is true: social and ethical risks include discrimination, reduced autonomy, and chilling effects.
### The concept
A surveillance system can fail in several distinct ways. A technical error can wrongly identify or reject someone. A security failure can expose sensitive biometric records. Social effects can change how people behave when they believe they are constantly watched. Governance weaknesses, such as unclear authority or weak accountability, can make these risks harder to control.
### The other options
- **D. Guaranteed elimination of every security threat.** The material describes potential safety benefits, not a guarantee; surveillance also creates risks and cannot be assumed to prevent every threat.
### Terms
- **False match**: An incorrect identification that treats two people as the same person.
- **False rejection**: A failure to recognize or accept a person who should be recognized.
- **Chilling effect**: A reduction in lawful or ordinary behaviour because people fear being monitored.
- **Biometric data**: Data derived from bodily or behavioural characteristics and used to identify people.
### Remember
Assess technical accuracy, data security, social effects, and governance separately.
