Follow recommendation: @RadicalGraffiti The best graffiti is radical graffiti. Here's my addition from a few months ago in Venezia. "GIGI, WHAT ARE THESE FACIAL RECOGNITION CAMERAS?
THIS IS VENICE
IT'S NOT MATRIX!"

"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 #supermarkets. 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:

Even on its own narrow technical terms, this @metpoliceuk #FaceRecognition trial is a big… #FAIL 🤦🏻‍♂️ (see long list of problems in 🧵)

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

In our independent review of #MPS operations, every single #FRT 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 #surveillance 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 #FRT for public surveillance without a warrant. Support #EdMarkey'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.

Telangana: The role of facial recognition system in the custodial death of Khadir

'What has happened to Mohammad Khadir is wrong. There has to be an investigation into this and corrections have to be made in Telangana with regard to policing practices'.

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 #CCTV cameras with facial recognition capability.

https://www.iccl.ie/news/does-the-european-parliament-use-facial-recognition-technology

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 #GodotEngine4 on the #OrangePi5 with #Debian 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 #Godot engine with #GCC. But the latest beta and #FRT versions won't build. #GameDev #OrangePi

RT @BarryOSullivan@twitter.com

It would be interesting to know who would/is providing the software to Iran: “Iranian women are baring their heads to protest government controls. A top official said algorithms can identify anyone flouting dress codes.” #FRT @e_farries@twitter.com @CiaraBRoche@twitter.com https://www.wired.com/story/iran-says-face-recognition-will-id-women-breaking-hijab-laws

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.

I have run the #GodotEngine demos on the #OrangePi5 with #FRT. The 2D platformer one ran very well. As expected of this hardware, though, the 3D platformer demo ran slowly, with many frame drops, as well as slow responses. @godotengine #GameDev

Now trying to build and use #FRT on the #OrangePi5. Hopefully it'll perform well. #GodotEngine @godotengine

How Hyderabad Police justified facial recognition surveillance, even as top cop denied using it

An affidavit submitted by Hyderabad City Commissioner of Police CV Anand in Telangana High Court said that FRS is entirely legal, under various provisions of law.

Happy to share a video of a talk given in August at U Helsinki's Legal Tech Lab with Jürgen Neyer. We argue that #AI, particularly in specific instantiations such as #facerecognition, presents urgent challenges for the future of smart cities. Addressing these requires "substantive smartness", combining #humanrights and pol. activism. Thanks to Alina Wernick and Anna Artyushina for organizing!
