Resumen

Facial recognition technologies exist in society. When they were implemented, it was not considered that the use of this technology could lead to a breach of privacy of the individual. Not all countries have specific regulations and there is no standard to determine its international feasibility. This study presents the bibliometric and content analysis of scientific production in Scopus and Web of Science. A total of 169 documents published between 2000 and 2023 were identified. It was found that the most frequently used terms are privacy, facial recognition, surveillance, and security. It was concluded that there is legal and ethical debate because there is no clear protection of human rights for the misuse of this technology.
