Finnish Police and Customs were granted permission to use automatic facial recognition technology at the beginning of June. The Finnish Border Guard has had the right to use this tech since 2005.

...

Authorities said that despite having the permission to use the software, Finland's current tech infrastructure doesn't yet support the use of automatic facial recognition. Currently, humans — and not artificial intelligence programs — handle surveillance camera images, according to the police and customs.
