In 2016, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) secretly tested facial recognition technology on millions of travellers at Toronto Pearson Airport without their knowledge. The system, supplied by Face4 Systems, matched faces against a database of previously deported individuals. The CBSA stated that no one was deported as a result of the pilot, and the technology was removed after six months. Privacy advocates raised concerns about lack of consent, transparency, and potential racial bias.

Singapore's Home Team Science and Technology Agency has deployed Xavier robots to patrol Toa Payoh Central. The robots use AI to detect 'undesirable social behaviours' including gatherings of more than five people, smoking in prohibited areas, illegal hawking, improperly parked bicycles, and mobility devices on footpaths. When detected, the robots alert their command centre and display educational messages. The three-week trial aims to reduce the need for physical patrols by human officers.

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has awarded a £3 million, four-year contract to Northgate Public Services for a new retrospective facial-recognition (RFR) system to be deployed within three months. RFR processes biometric information from historic CCTV, social media, and other images to identify suspects and missing persons, operating retroactively unlike live facial recognition. The procurement was approved by the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime in August 2021. The MPS states that human-in-the-loop decision-making will be used, but digital rights groups and a former biometrics commissioner have raised concerns about potential discrimination, overrepresentation of marginalised groups in watch lists, and lack of a legislative framework.

This has led to longer response times for other calls and increased police presence in predominantly Black and brown neighborhoods, causing anxiety and concerns of over-policing. Critics argue the technology has not reduced gun violence and diverts resources from more effective strategies.

On 22 March 2003, a US Army Patriot missile battery in Kuwait misidentified a RAF Tornado returning to base as an Iraqi anti-radiation missile. The system's automated classification, combined with a possible failure of the aircraft's identification friend or foe system, led the crew to engage, killing both crew members instantly. A UK Ministry of Defence investigation found that overly broad classification criteria, inadequate rules of engagement, and training focused on generic threats contributed to the incident. The Patriot system's software and operational procedures had previously been implicated in a 1991 friendly-fire incident that killed 28 soldiers.
