“Since such a legislative framework does not exist at the time, a national pause should be imposed on the use of FRT, particularly with respect to police services.” MPs also called for new laws outlining “acceptable uses of facial recognition technology or other algorithmic technologies and prohibit other uses, including mass surveillance.”Article content
Airports and industries should be required to publicly disclose their use of facial recognition, while the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians should review any military or intelligence use of the technology. The government should disclose its own acquisitions of the technology, and “create a public AI registry in which all algorithmic tools used by any entity operating in Canada are listed,” MPs said.
