Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan has dismissed privacy concerns over the use of face recognition and tracking technology as part of the CCTV Surveillance system, saying that he sees no risks of the system being abused.
“I don’t feel that. It has absolutely not any risks involved. I don’t see how facial recognition could… I have not bought into the argument,” Ramjattan told Stabroek News.
Late last month, government unveiled the Huawei-built Safe City Command Centre for the CCTV Surveillance system and it was noted that real time facial recognition and facial tracking are among features.
