A balance needs to be struck between the right to privacy and the economic interest driven by AI. Consequently, there is now a growing tension between privacy’s requirement to restrict flows of personal data on the one hand and economic and commercial arguments supporting the free flow of such data on the other.

The use of facial recognition technology risks a serious impact on an array of civil rights.
