Bunnings and Kmart have confirmed that they will pause the use of facial recognition in some stores following weeks of public backlash. 7NEWS
Bunnings had placed these signs in stores which used facial recognition cameras.“We have temporarily stopped the use of this technology in our small number of trial stores given the commencement of the OAIC investigation.”
“Facial recognition gives us a chance to identify when a banned person enters a store so we can support our team to handle the situation before it escalates. “We’re extremely disappointed that CHOICE has chosen to mischaracterise the issue, especially given the extensive explanations we have provided to them.”
