The MLB's facial recognition program, referred to as Go-Ahead Entry, has raised privacy and security concerns among fans and privacy advocates. The program allows for expedited entry into the stadiums for fans who opt-in by submitting a selfie via an app, enabling their faces to be matched at camera kiosks. While the technology is intended to enhance the event experience by reducing wait times, critics argue that it may contribute to increased surveillance and data security risks, despite assurances from the facial recognition company Wicket regarding data privacy and responsible use. The use of facial recognition is contentious, with potential for misuse or data breaches, prompting protests and skepticism about such systems' security measures.
