AI Overview

+4

Yes, Dubai has implemented facial recognition technology to facilitate payments in various settings, including retail stores and public transportation. This allows individuals to pay for goods and services simply by having their faces scanned, eliminating the need for cash, cards, or even smartphones. 

Here's how it works:

  • Registration:

    Users register their face and payment details (like a linked bank card) through a dedicated app or platform. 

  • Payment Process:

    When making a purchase, users simply stand in front of a camera, which scans their face and matches it to their registered profile. 

  • Secure and Convenient:

    The system uses biometric data, making it secure, and the process is designed to be quick and convenient. 

Several businesses in Dubai have adopted this technology:

  • Carrefour:

    Customers can use facial recognition to pay for groceries at Carrefour hypermarkets. 

  • Public Transportation:

    Dubai's Road and Transport Authority (RTA) is rolling out facial recognition technology for smart gates on public transport, allowing users to pay fares without tickets or cards. 

  • Other Retailers:

    Facial recognition payment systems are also being implemented in other retail stores and restaurants in Dubai. 

This technology is part of Dubai's vision to become a smart city and enhance the overall customer experience.
