Abstract: Face recognition technology is based on artificial intelligence algorithm and big data analysis to realize the purpose of face recognition. According to different algorithms, there are face recognition technology systems based on 2D recognition algorithm and 3D recognition algorithm. However, no matter what algorithm is based on, there are social risks such as deception attack, technical Leviathan and responsibility risk. Deception attack includes 2D deception attack and 3D deception attack; Leviathan, a face recognition technology, is a composite technology Leviathan which integrates artificial intelligence "Leviathan" and big data "digital Leviathan"; liability risk shows that the existing fault liability principle can not effectively divide the liability rules brought by face recognition technology. In order to prevent the social risks of face recognition technology, in addition to in-depth research and development of the technology, it is also necessary to regulate the scope, means and purpose of the technology from the application end of the technology system.
