Asda launches facial recognition trial to combat retail crime
Grocer Asda has begun trialling live facial recognition at five stores in a bid to assess how the technology can help it battle spiking rates of retail crime.
The supermarket giant said it had begun the trial at five stores across the Greater Manchester area, which Asda is integrating into its existing CCTV networks by scanning images and comparing the results to “a known list of individuals who have previously committed criminal activity on an Asda site”.
