Abstract: One of the most powerful and ethically debatable technologies of the 21 st century are Facial Recognition Tech- nology (FRT), which is also driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI). FRT can be used to automate the identification and verification of individual persons under different conditions, such as law enforcement, border control, and digital authentication, by relying on machine learning and deep neural networks. Even though the technology has a positive impact on reducing safety and efficiency, it poses significant ethical issues concerning privacy, data protection, bias, consent, and responsibility. The paper is a thorough overview of the ethical aspects of AI-driven facial recognition, the benefits that it has, and the vulnerabilities of this technology. It studies the problem of algorithmic bias, data governance, and ethical dimensions of surveillance-based applications. Global regulatory reactions to the subject, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the suggested AI Act, and other upcoming data protection regulations in the United States and India are discussed to point out differences in regulation. In addition, the paper explains mitigation measures such as fairness-conscious algorithms, transparency, and privacy- sensitive methods to encourage the responsible use of AI. This research highlights the importance of balancing between innova- tion and accountability as a means of seeking to fulfill societal needs without infringing on human rights by critically analyzing and conducting case-based reviews that conclude that facial recognition can be used to the benefit of society without taking away the rights of the people.
