The DGCA warned that any employee who fails to use this technology will be subject to legal accountability, confirming that the decision applies to all departments, units and sections. Reliable sources informed the newspaper that the goal of this measure is to enhance the accuracy of recording attendance and limit errors that may occur in traditional systems.

Sources said the adoption of facial recognition is part of the comprehensive digital transformation plan of the DGCA to keep pace with technological developments and instill job discipline. Sources affirmed that this step will contribute to standardizing work procedures and ensuring transparency, especially since the new system has a high capacity to verify user identity. They added that the circular is in line with the commitment of DGCA to develop the work environment and instill administrative discipline, which will positively impact the quality of services offered and guarantee the efficiency of institutional performance. They stated that the DGCA previously issued a similar circular on adopting facial recognition as proof of attendance.
