Updated: Sep 20, 2018
Organisers of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics plan to introduce facial recognition software at security checkpoints to cut down on unauthorized people getting in and, probably more importantly, getting athletes out of the scorching heat as fast as possible. ITGS Students read this article by RACHEL KASER about the NEC Corp software to be on athletes, staff, and media representative, with everyone’s pictures being taken ahead of time and stored in a database and respond to these questions:
- Outline four the benefits of this technology
- Discuss two reliability issues that must be addressed by the 2020 Olympic organisers when building this technology
- Explore security concerns that participants and spectators may have regarding this proposed technology
