Johanna (China)

My concern is that my data might get leaked or sold to some company. My cellphone could be unlocked, my account hacked, and what would I do? Passwords can be changed, but I just can’t change my face. The government needs to start regulating this face identification. Misuse of data ought to come with penalties. Companies should face serious consequences if they fail to follow the rules.

Markwu (Malaysia)

Facial recognition really marks a leap forward in transportation. Truly, technology offers convenience to our clothing, dining, traveling and housing. It also helps law enforcement departments preempt(抢先行动) criminals. To fight against terrorists, facial recognition is necessary, because prevention is better than cure.

Answer 1

【答案】Possible version 1:

Despite the widespread adoption of facial recognition technology, a Chinese professor has taken a park to court because it forces visitors to accept facial scanning, which has received a mixed response.

Personally speaking, facial recognition plays an essential role in our daily life. To begin with, it blesses the man in the street with comfort and convenience. Shoppers can buy what they want without standing in a long line. Passengers can go aboard without showing their ID cards to confirm their identity. Besides, this technology offers special assistance for social security services. For example, it can help the police track and identify missing children and bring them back for family reunions. As a matter of fact, facial recognition can be applied on numerous occasions and it has won great popularity for common people.

To conclude, the Age of Scanning Face has come. We have no option but to embrace it.

Possible version 2:

Despite the widespread adoption of facial recognition technology, a Chinese professor has taken a park to court because it forces visitors to accept facial scanning, which has received a mixed response.

In my opinion, I object to the wide use of facial recognition technology in public places. For one thing, convenient as it may be, it tends to collect large amounts of confidential personal information, which is usually at enormous potential cost of citizens’ privacy. What’s worse, there is a risk that the information might be leaked or sold by immoral persons and even taken advantage of by criminals, which will pose a major threat to social security. For another, the technology has yet to be mature enough and there still exist some holes, so it is likely to be out of order and make technical mistakes, causing discomfort and inconvenience

To sum up, on no account can we turn blind eyes to the drawbacks of facial recognition technology.
