The question(s) to which you were seeking answers
Is face detection technology is safe or not on Smartphone?
Explain which reading techniques you used, explaining why they were used
Active reading: I used this particular method to understand and evaluate the
research question.
Itemise the key points in the source, relevant to your question/s
 Secure and reliable biometrics method
 Face identification technique
 Usability issues
 Unlocking the phone
Explain any examples of implicit meaning in the source, evaluating the effect
and purpose of implied meaning within it
As per the author of this paper “The Smartphone manufacturers claim that this
technology is the most secure and reliable biometrics methods. This paper
investigates the usability aspects of face identification technique embedded in these
Smartphones”. By this statement, it is analyzed that new Smartphones by Apple
have used the facial features for recognizing the iPhone users. From this paper, the
survey has shown that half of the users are being satisfied with the face detection
technique.

Hidden Danger in Recognizing Faces.
The question(s) to which you were seeking answers
Why is it important to study facial recognition and bias?
Explain which reading techniques you used, explaining why they were used
Analyzing: I used this method to answer to the selected research question.
Itemise the key points in the source, relevant to your question/s
 Algorithm surveillance
 Facial recognition system
 Neural network
 Facial geometry
 Human brain
 Biometric data
Explain any examples of implicit meaning in the source, evaluating the effect
and purpose of implied meaning within it
As per the author of this paper “Biometric data collection includes a person’s “unique
physical, physiological, and behavioral characteristics” making this data potentially
dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands and is misused or violated”. By this
statement, it is seen that face recognition system is placed in such a way that it is not
