The Point: China's facial recognition and how it's reported

This week's headline buster talks about China's facial recognition tech. Facial recognition has been used widely across China, powering the technology to unlock iPhones, to pass security checks at airports, and purchase goods with a "smile to pay" function. At its core, it is a biometric software application capable of verifying or identifying a person by comparing and analyzing patterns of facial images.

However, it does trigger concerns about data privacy, and such concerns have not gone unnoticed by technology experts or government officials in China.

Guests: James Early, CEO at Stansberry China; Zhang Fan, associate professor at Beijing Normal University; Rick Dunham, director of the Global Business Program at Tsinghua University.
