#USA #CBP #SocialMedia #Surveillance #DHS #AI #EmotionRecognition: "Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has bought millions of dollars worth of software from a company that uses artificial intelligence to detect “sentiment and emotion” in online posts, according to a cache of documents obtained by 404 Media.

CBP told 404 Media it is using technology to analyze open source information related to inbound and outbound travelers who the agency believes may threaten public safety, national security, or lawful trade and travel. In this case, the specific company called Fivecast also offers “AI-enabled” object recognition in images and video, and detection of “risk terms and phrases” across multiple languages, according to one of the documents.

Marketing materials promote the software’s ability to provide targeted data collection from big social platforms like Facebook and Reddit, but also specifically names smaller communities like 4chan, 8kun, and Gab."

'Emotion recognition' technologies are built on a chilling history of racism.

Along with biometric categorisation, these segregationist systems are the hidden face of #BiometricMassSurveillance.

Sadly this appears to only be on the bird site, but it is really important. Emotional recognition is based on really bad science and the most shallow understanding imaginable of the nature of emotions. It is a case study of why some things are not engineering problems. That a government agency is prepared to say this and threaten to fine orgs which (mis)use it is huge news.
