AI & Biometrics guidance
The BSIA is leading on developing guidance to ensure that the use of Artficial Intelligence in the fields of facial recognition technology (FRT) and biometrics are used responsiblity and etchically. We believe that AI systems should be designed in a way that respects the rule of law, human rights, democratic values and diversity, and they should include appropriate safeguards, e.g. enabling human intervention where necessary to ensure a fair and just society.
There should be transparency and responsible disclosure around AI systems to ensure that people understand AI-based outcomes and can challenge them.
We have produced guides for the end user to assist and reassure that the industry is working hard in ensuring that this fast evolving technology can be a benefit if handled correctly and responsibly

Understanding biometrics and their uses - an end user's guide
Developing a well-crafted guide can help build public trust, illuminating how biometric data is managed and safeguarding against misconceptions. This supportive approach ensures users are informed, comfortable, and confident as they interact with these advanced identification technologies.
Automated Facial Recognition - a guide to ethical and legal use
This guidance provides advice and recommendations on the ethical and legal use of AFR technology for beneficial use in both public and private sector environments to ensure it does not cause harm or discriminate against persons. It takes into account current known legislation, standards and guidance around AI and in particular FRT.
