Join CGHR for welcome drinks followed by a talk with authors Pete Fussey and Daragh Murray about their book, Facial Recognition Surveillance: Policing and Human Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

Facial Recognition Surveillance: Policing and Human Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence explores the rapid growth and controversy surrounding facial recognition technology (FRT) in policing. Based on rare ethnographic access to police FRT deployments , the book examines how FRT transforms police practices, surveillance capabilities, and human rights protections. It critiques the scientific and legal narratives that support FRT ’s expansion and introduces concepts like ‘compound human rights harm’ and a due diligence framework for its use. Drawing from sociology, technology studies, and human rights theory, the book presents FRT as a socio-technical system that fundamentally reshapes the nature of policing.
