... It will • Provide a broadly accessible explanation of FR technologies, their relationship to artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, applications of FR technologies, and interactions and interoperability of FR technologies with other systems; • Review existing governmental and other efforts aimed at explaining the work ings and implications of FR technologies; • Assess the strengths, capabilities, risks, and limitations of FR technologies, to include measures of performance and cost and differential accuracy across subpopulations (e.g., across races, genders, and ages) ; • Consider current approaches to governing the use of FR technologies in law enforcement, non–law enforcement, and other common use cases and describe implications of the use of FR technology and requirements for adequate safeguards; • Consider concerns about the impacts of FR technologies in public and private settings on privacy, civil liberties, and human rights, including issues of usabil ity, equity, fairness, privacy, consent, community interests, and other societal considerations affecting FR acceptability; and 133
