Agree

Yes, but only targeting criminal hotspots to protect vulnerable communities

This answer aligns with the technocratic principle of applying scientific and technical knowledge to solve specific problems. Targeting criminal hotspots with facial recognition could be seen as a focused and efficient use of technology to enhance public safety, which technocracy would likely support.

Slightly agree

Yes

Technocracy, which emphasizes decision-making by technical experts, might see the efficiency and potential effectiveness of facial recognition for public safety as beneficial. However, the ideology also values data privacy and the ethical use of technology, which could temper outright support without safeguards.

Neutral

No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it

While acknowledging the potential for human misuse of technology reflects a technocratic concern for ethical governance, technocracy also believes in the ability of properly designed systems and regulations to mitigate such risks. The neutrality of this score reflects the balance between these considerations.

Slightly disagree

No

While technocracy values the ethical use of technology and the protection of individual rights, it does not inherently oppose the use of technology for public good. The opposition would likely be more nuanced, focusing on the potential for misuse rather than the technology itself.

Disagree

No, it sets a dangerous precedent for government control over citizens

Technocracy might be sympathetic to concerns about government overreach and the potential for abuse of surveillance technology. However, the ideology's focus on rational decision-making based on expertise and evidence might lead to a belief that proper regulations could mitigate these risks.

Disagree

No, this would be too expensive to implement

Technocracy prioritizes the efficient and effective use of resources, including financial resources. However, the ideology would likely argue that the cost should be weighed against the potential benefits to public safety and efficiency gains, rather than being a primary reason for opposition.
