Corsight AI, in partnership with AusComply, has introduced a novel solution aimed at assisting Australian bars and nightclubs in identifying and refusing entry to individuals who have been prohibited or marked as potentially problematic. This system utilizes Corsight’s facial recognition software to compare against a roster of persons and can instantly notify management if a correspondence is detected. This empowers venues to take swift action, bolstering the safety and security of their premises.
AusComply’s CEO, Jason Thomas, commended the system’s proficiency, emphasizing its efficacy in demanding environments such as dimly lit and congested areas. He also pointed out the rapid deployment time, citing The Argyle in Sydney as an example, which was reportedly operational in a mere two and a half hours.
Brian Sarkis, the manager of The Argyle, conveyed his enthusiasm for the technology, stressing his dedication to incorporating it into their everyday procedures for enhanced security and incident handling.
Individuals placing themselves on the exclusion roster can be confident that the Star’s personnel will act appropriately, ensuring an enhanced entry experience for all guests on Saturday evening. The Star Entertainment Group has collaborated with AusComply to deploy a facial recognition technology, requiring customer registration and consent, for patrons accessing their establishments. Sean Borg, Corsight AI’s Managing Director for Australasia, highlighted the challenges security personnel face in effectively and precisely identifying self-barred individuals who modify their appearance, such as through shaving, headwear, or eyewear. Moreover, he emphasized their commitment to safeguarding privacy while adhering to GDPR regulations and the new Australian Model Law. This is achieved by immediately pixelating anyone not flagged on a watchlist within camera footage and permanently erasing all digital traces of their facial features from the system. Beyond strengthening the recently implemented self-exclusion registry, Australian officials have also restricted access to an additional five illicit gambling platforms.
