The privacy implications of facial recognition technology will be the next topic for the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to tackle as part of its multi-year privacy evaluation. In a notice today, the group (which is part of the Commerce department) said it would hold the first of several meetings about the technology beginning next February. Its a follow-up to the NTIAs year-long study on mobile privacy standards, and will also end up as part of a recommended code of conduct for software developers and businesses to abide by. The technology poses distinct consumer privacy challenges.
