The survey findings underscore how public opinion is often contingent on the goals and
circumstances around the uses of AI and human enhancement technologies. For example,
in addition to exploring views about the use of facial recognition by police in depth, the
survey also sought opinions about several other possible uses of facial recognition
technology. It shows that more U.S. adults oppose than favor the idea of social media sites
using facial recognition to automatically identify people in photos (57% vs. 19%) and more
oppose than favor the idea that companies might use facial recognition to automatically
track the attendance of their employees (48% vs. 30%).
