Relação entre o reconhecimento facial e a sua responsabilidade jurídica: a luz dos direitos humanos essa tecnologia pode vir a enlear a dignidade humana?.

Abstract

The main objective of this work was to analyze the evolution of facial recognition over time, considering the provisions of the General Law for the Protection of Personal Data (LGPD), Law nº 13.709/2018, and the risks inherent to this technology. Facial recognition has stood out in several applications, however, its advancement raises significant concerns related to the privacy and security of personal data. In this context, the study addressed both the technological evolution and the legal aspects and associated risks. The research kicked off with a detailed review of the evolution of facial recognition, from its origins to more recent machine learning-based approaches. The increasing accuracy and applicability of technology in areas such as security, authentication and everyday interactions was highlighted. However, the main focus was on the impacts of LGPD on the use of facial recognition. The LGPD, enacted in Brazil in 2018, established strict guidelines for the collection, processing and storage of personal data. The study explored how this legislation applies to facial recognition, addressing issues of consent, purpose and data subject rights. It was investigated how companies and institutions have adapted to comply with LGPD requirements by implementing facial recognition systems. In addition, the work addressed the risks associated with facial recognition technology. Issues such as algorithmic bias, excessive data collection, and potential privacy violations were discussed in depth. The research also examined cases of inappropriate use of facial recognition that resulted in negative repercussions, both in terms of image and legal consequences. In summary, this study presented the evolution of facial recognition, considering the LGPD parameters and the associated technological risks. By addressing the complex interactions between technology, regulation and ethics, the work highlighted the need to balance the benefits of innovation with the protection of individual rights. As a result, it offered a comprehensive view of the implications of facial recognition in contemporary society, promoting a critical reflection on its responsible use.
