INTRODUCTION
What’s the difference? In short, there are technical and societal problems that need to be solved, but after 7
years of seeing the benefits of face detection technologies, they are worth solving.

WHY WE WANT IT
This extends into a number of other applications. Some much higher brow, but mostly,
you are lazy and demand that the world recognise you, verify your access and
personalise with empathy.
And why shouldn't you? We have the means, you demand the best.

Uses Cases You see this capability in everyday devices and photo editing tools that map and move
to a face.

WHAT ARE THEY
What’s the difference? The machine will make a decision without a human verification. Facial verification and
Facial Recognition technology fall into this category.
Uses Cases
On the plus side, determinative data can be scaled up and left to run on its own.
Risk & Regulation
Conversely, this means any systematic bias will impact many more people than
Contact anticipated.
Informative:
The machine will inform a human who will make a final decision. This information is rarely
binary and needs to be interpreted by an individual before invoking action.
On the plus side, informative data can rarely be used in isolation from human judgement.
Conversely, it has limits to scalable applications and needs to be embedded within a
human workflow.
