Task:
A State Government has decided to implement their own Automated Facial Recognition

Authentication (AFRA) system to enhance user authentication and identification for access to various state-level services. Initially, these services are to include application for, and renewal of, vehicle, boat and firearms licences. The government has said that these services will use

AFRA as a trial to assess the benefits and savings before considering a wider roll-out to other services.

The State Police Service have indicated that they would like to see a roll-out of AFRA into the streets of all major cities in the state. They believe that AFRA would enable the Police to quickly identify criminals and other "persons of interest".

You have been asked to prepare a paper that considers the possible risks, benefits and ethical implications of the proposed uses of the AFRA system.

Your report should cover the following:

1. Discuss the possible risks and benefits that could be realised from the use of the AFRA system to identify individual users who wish to apply for or renew a licence.

2. Discuss the ethical implications for an individual's privacy from their use of AFRA to apply for or renew a licence.

3. Discuss the possible risk, benefits and ethical implications of the State Police's proposed use of AFRA.

4. What do you see as the potential legal and ethical implications (particularly with regard to the Privacy Act) of introducing AFRA, firstly for user access to state services and secondly for use on the streets of major cities?

Each question is worth 25 marks and your overall score will be scaled out of 10. As a guide, your word limit for this assignment should be around 2,000 words. Referencing using the APA

7th edition format is required.
