New Guardrails Regulate Facial Recognition Technology Use in London
What happened
New regulations were established in London to limit the misuse of facial recognition technology. These guardrails will govern how police and businesses use the cameras, with officers only allowed to use the technology if they believe wanted people are nearby. A new legal code will also be drawn up to govern business use, and a new watchdog will monitor police use of the technology.

Why it matters
The new legal code governing business use of facial recognition technology will change the compliance requirements for shops. The creation of a new watchdog will monitor how police forces use the technology, affecting their operational procedures and public confidence.
