University of Kentucky pilots facial recognition across campus

The University of Kentucky launched a voluntary pilot of Alcatraz AI's Rock facial authentication system for dorm entry. Raw photos are deleted immediately and templates are tied to badge numbers, but retention timelines and access controls remain unpublished.

• Alcatraz AI Rock pilot is voluntary; Wildcard and mobile ID still work
• Raw photos deleted after enrollment; only encrypted Facial Signature kept
• Template tied to badge number rather than the student's name
• Retention schedule and independent performance data not published
