Controversial technology: The St.Gallen canton police are one of the first in Switzerland to use facial recognition software

Resistance to facial recognition technologies is growing in the United States. In some cities they are already banned, the potential for abuse is too great. In Switzerland, on the other hand, the first police stations are equipping themselves with it. The Kapo St.Gallen is one of them.

Face recognition technology is controversial: some see it as an opportunity for a safer society, others see it as an attack on their fundamental freedoms.

In the USA there is increasing resistance to the use of facial recognition software (GES). The technology is inaccurate, especially for dark-skinned people, and holds great potential for abuse, according to the allegation.
