Intrusive facial recognition is being rolled out by the police without parliamentary scrutiny or public debate.

We need to regulate the use of this invasive and harmful technology before we sleepwalk into a surveillance state rooted in racial bias.

The Met Police are deploying biased facial recognition at Notting Hill Carnival this weekend.

Last week we joined civil society groups in calling for the plans to be scrapped.

It “unfairly targets the community that carnival exists to celebrate.”

“The [UK] government should halt the expansion of facial recognition, before we sleepwalk into a surveillance state.”

It’s “invasive, harmful and should not be used, let alone expanded, without parliamentary scrutiny or public debate.”

🗣️ ORG’s Sara Chitseko on the Met #Police doubling the use of this tech.

#MobileFortify: Liberty’s existential threat, or sensible way to ID illegal immigrants?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are using a new phone app: Mobile Fortify puts “instant, #AI powered” #FacialRecognition in their hands. What could possibly go wrong?

A major risk is inaccurate recognition. In #SBBlogwatch, the French want their statue back.

#BudapestPride już dziś

Społeczność LGBTQIA+ na Węgrzech jest zastraszana, a jej prawa ograniczane. Osoby uczestniczące w marszu mogą być zidentyfikowane za pomocą technologii rozpoznawania twarzy - zakazanej przez #AIAct, ale nie na Węgrzech.

Wspieramy @algorithmwatch i ich petycję ws. zakazu #FacialRecognition: https://algorithmwatch.org/en/pridewithpride/

Apelujemy, by Komisja Europejska doprowadziła do przestrzegania #AIAct, który ZAKAZUJE stosowania systemów rozpoznawania twarzy w przestrzeni publicznej!
