人脸识别技术下个人信息法律保护探究

Exploration of the Legal Protection of Personal Information under Face Recognition Technology

摘要: 人脸识别技术作为人工智能领域的重要分支，在提升社会管理效率、增强公共安全、优化用户体验等方面都展现出巨大潜力。然而，这一技术的广泛应用也引发了关于个人信息保护的法律挑战。本文针对个人隐私权受到威胁、法律法规适用范围不明确、行政监管机制不足、技术滥用蕴藏安全隐患等人脸识别技术下个人信息保护面临的法律困境，提出了解决该问题的现实路径，包括完善隐私权保护指导原则、明确法律适用范围、强化行政监管能力以及加强人脸识别行业自律，旨在帮助人脸识别技术规范发展，为有效保护个人信息权益提供理论支持与实践指导。

Abstract: As a pivotal branch of artificial intelligence, face recognition technology has demonstrated immense potential in enhancing social management efficiency, bolstering public security, and optimizing user experiences. Nonetheless, the widespread adoption of this technology has also ignited legal challenges concerning personal information protection. This paper addresses the legal dilemmas confronting personal information safeguarding under face recognition technology, including threats to individual privacy rights, ambiguity in the scope of applicable laws and regulations, inadequacies in administrative oversight mechanisms, and latent security risks stemming from technology misuse. To tackle these issues, this paper proposes practical pathways, encompassing refining guiding principles for privacy protection, clarifying legal scopes of application, strengthening administrative supervision capabilities, and fostering self-regulation within the face recognition industry. These measures aim to facilitate the normative development of face recognition technology and offer theoretical underpinnings and practical guidance for effectively safeguarding personal information rights.
