人脸识别技术在高校应用的法律风险与规制

Legal Problems and Regulations of Face Recognition Application in Universities

摘要: 人脸识别作为一种新型技术，在推动“智慧校园”建设中，发挥了诸多优势。然而，新技术的应用本是提升学校管理水平和维护学生安全，但其在采集和应用阶段暴露出学生合法权益存在被侵害风险、“告知–同意”规则被架空、缺乏对禁止适用场景的明确规定等问题。对此，面对新技术带来的冲击，有必要予以法治回应。针对当前我国高校实际情况，提出相关规制路径：健全人脸信息安全保护机制；增强“告知–同意”规则的有效性；设置禁止适用场景。探究高校使用人脸识别技术的法律问题，不仅保障学生个人权利，也有助于增强高校管理方式的合规性。从而，在法律和技术双重推动下，使校园管理场景下的人脸识别技术更加符合法治化的要求。

Abstract: As a new technology, facial recognition has played many advantages in promoting the construction of “smart campuses”. However, although the application of new technologies is supposed to enhance the management level of schools and maintain the safety of students, problems such as the risk of infringement of students’ legitimate rights and interests, the “notice-consent” rule being undermined, and the lack of clear regulations on prohibited application scenarios have emerged in the collection and application stages. In response to the impact brought by new technologies, it is necessary to provide a legal response. In light of the current situation of universities in China, relevant regulatory paths are proposed: improving the mechanism for protecting the security of facial information; enhancing the effectiveness of the notice-consent rule; setting up prohibited application scenarios. Exploring the legal issues of universities’ use of facial recognition technology not only protects students’ personal rights but also helps to enhance the compliance of university management methods. Thus, under the dual promotion of law and technology, facial recognition technology in campus management scenarios will better meet the requirements of the rule of law.
