The agency said the workshop will look at many topics including:

• What are the current and future uses of facial recognition technology?

• How can consumers benefit from the technology?

• What are the privacy and security concerns surrounding the adoption of the technology; for example, have consumers consented to the collection and use of their images?

• Are there special considerations for the use of this technology on or by children and teens?

• What legal protections currently exist for consumers regarding the use of the technology, both in the United States and internationally?

• What consumer protections should be provided?
