Ethical and Privacy Concerns

The responses reveal a spectrum of views on the ethical and privacy implications of facial recognition technology like the Apple Vision Pro. While a small number of participants expressed minimal concern—simply stating “no” or “yes” without elaboration—the majority of detailed responses highlighted deeper anxieties. The most frequently cited issues include data security risks, such as the possibility of information being hacked or misused, and the lack of informed consent, particularly regarding how and when personal data is collected and linked to facial recognition profiles. Some respondents raised concern over the misrepresentation of individuals, emphasizing that the data displayed might not reflect a person’s current identity or context. Others mentioned the disturbing nature of unauthorized data sourcing, especially from social media or platforms where privacy settings may be ambiguous. Overall, these insights suggest that trust, transparency, and control over personal data are central to participant concerns, underscoring the importance of ethical design and clear consent protocols in any future deployment of such technologies in educational or public settings.
