The use of this technology could lessen the need for traditional means of identification such as official documents.
The UAE Cabinet recently approved a proposal to employ facial recognition technology to further develop services provided by private and government sectors.
The use of this technology could lessen the need for traditional means of identification such as official documents, make various services seamless, and also secure processes.
Over time, our face could well be our digital identity, and allow us seamless access to places and establishments without the need for access or identification cards. “Facial recognition is a pathway to digital transformation. You can have paperless borders; automation can ease travel and make access to several services more efficient and faster,” said Dr Ali Raza, Professor of Computing Sciences, overlooking the digital transformation lab and a consultant to government agencies in the region.
