Facial recognition used on Chinese campus of New Zealand university
The The University of Waikato in New Zealand is using facial recognition on students at its Waikato Joint Institute at Hangzhou City University in China
It said the technology was "used for facility access ... not used in place of roll call".
"The operations of our offshore campuses are influenced by our partners in those institutions and use practices that are appropriate at that university," the university said in a statement, but added that it did not use it locally and "does not use and has no plans to introduce use of facial recognition technology on its New Zealand campuses, and as such does not have a policy on its use".
