"A controversial facial recognition database, used by police departments across the nation, was built in part with 30 billion photos the company scraped from Facebook and other social media users without their permission, the company's CEO recently admitted, creating what critics called a "perpetual police line-up," even for people who haven't done anything wrong."

Follow-up on the work I got offered setting up a facial recognition server for . The emails I exchanged with him about why I didn't want the job led to a rethink of the technology choices for the job. The system they were looking to set up sends a video steam of their customers to a "cloud" provider for recognition, probably based on this kind of piracy:

6c.According to their statistics, ethnic disparities only removed if system sensitivity is set to 0.64+.

In our independent review of operations, every single alert except 3 fell between 0.55-0.63.

This means the tech would hardly ID anyone. 11/15

Dear fellow academics:

If your government asks you to develop powerful tech and they pinky swear they won't use it to undermine your own compatriots' civil liberties, maybe don't take them at their word.

Also, Americans need an affirmative law protecting us from the use of for public surveillance without a warrant. Support 's bill.

What Khadeer Khan's Death Says About Telangana Police's 'Tech Revolution'

When it comes to rapid strides in the use of tech, Telangana Police has outdone others. The cost of this use of tech, without warrants and with great impunity, has been high.

Irish Council for Civil Liberties has received documents related to CCTVs in operation at the European Parliament.

A 2015 tender document shows that the Parliament requested for cameras with facial recognition capability.

This document also specifies image quality requirements to enable FRT.

We don't yet know the purpose, when and how often this capability has been used.

I have been trying to build a beta version of on the with Jammy 23.02.0 installed. But it keeps giving me a "fatal error: 'atomic' file not found" error. I have installed all of the LLVM, clang, and C++ source/header files (versions 11+). But the compiler can't find the sources, or something else is missing. I built version 3.5.1 of the engine with . But the latest beta and versions won't build.

When a citizen challenged the runaway use of facial recognition by Hyderabad police: Key points

Should police be allowed to collect photos and other details randomly and en-masse? A petition says this puts the whole state under surveillance.
