The use of facial recognition in Alaska is unregulated, with no state laws restricting its collection, use or sale.
“Alaska doesn’t maintain databases of biometric data and partners with trusted vendors who uphold the most stringent security and privacy practices in the industry,” the company said by email. “Alaska does not store your biometrics nor use biometric information for any purpose other than those listed inDelta Air Lines begins to allow passengers to use facial recognition cameras to confirm their identity at an LAX boarding gate.
“As companies are expanding their collection of consumer data, including with respect to facial recognition and other biometric data, it’s important that there are restrictions on what companies can do because of the chilling effects it can have, not only on consumer privacy, but also on consumer expression,” said Maureen Mahoney, a policy analyst for Consumer Reports, in a December 2021 legislative hearing.
Sen. Scott Kawasaki, D-Fairbanks, said facial recognition, especially when combined with artificial-intelligence sorting programs that allow quick processing “is something that’s coming very quickly with very few state or federal regulations. And I’m just kind of worried that we’re going too quickly and too fast, and this information will be able to be utilized in an improper manner.
“With any luck, Alaska can kind of step up to the plate,” Sweet said, noting that Alaska’s strong libertarian bent could lend itself toward a statewide ban.
