This paper examines U.S. college students’ perspectives on Facial Recognition Technology (FRT), a pivotal element in digital advancements with broad applications from security to administrative efficiency. Amidst the significant growth in the FRT sector and emerging concerns over privacy and ethical issues, this study explores the nuanced views of students through surveys, focus groups, and interviews. The findings reveal a conditional acceptance of FRT, balanced by privacy concerns and a call for regulatory oversight. Despite its insights, the study acknowledges limitations in demographic representation and depth of understanding. The conclusion emphasizes the need for ongoing research and a balanced approach to FRT, considering the evolving societal implications and privacy challenges.
