Abstract

The article analyzes the problems and prospects of using recognition technologies for human faces. The authors note that their development over recent years brings together the problems of the right to a personal image and the right to privacy, enshrined in the constitutions of most democratic countries. This is due to the fact that these technologies make it difficult, and, in some cases, impossible (or inappropriate) to use traditional legal mechanisms to protect these rights. In this regard, the authors propose to extend the concept of personal integrity to the “digital forms of existence” of an individual reflected in personal images, videos, virtual accounts, etc.
The authors propose to put some approaches formulated in the article as the basis of the legal regulation of the use of facial processing technologies. In particular, there should be a legislative ban on the development and use of programs and systems that search and process photo and video images that are not publicly available, and legal liability measures should be established for its violation. On the contrary, a person’s posting of such information in the public domain should be interpreted as his consent to their search and comparison.
Otherwise, issues should be resolved with the processing of photo and video images, as a result of which they are subjected to various kinds of distortions. Although the prohibition on creating such fakes is unreasonable, their publication and distribution may be restricted by law.
