Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the landscape of surveillance, offering unprecedented capabilities to monitor and analyze vast amounts of data. From facial recognition software in public spaces to predictive policing algorithms, AI-powered
Facial recognition technology is rapidly becoming ubiquitous, integrated into everything from smartphones and airport security to retail stores and law enforcement. This widespread adoption has spurred a global conversation about its implications, particularly
The European Union’s AI Act, currently making its way through the legislative process, represents a significant step towards regulating facial recognition technology. It categorizes AI systems based on their
Facial recognition technology is already being used by law enforcement agencies across the globe, albeit with varying degrees of success and oversight. Its applications range from identifying suspects in criminal investigations to
Biometric passports are essentially regular passports with an added layer of security: biometric data. This data, usually a digital photograph and fingerprints, is stored on a microchip embedded within the passport. This technology allows for more
Smart cities promise a future of enhanced efficiency and improved quality of life. A key component of this vision often involves sophisticated surveillance systems. From CCTV cameras monitoring traffic flow to sensors tracking environmental
Predictive policing, the use of algorithms to anticipate crime hotspots, relies heavily on historical crime data. This data, however, often reflects existing biases within the criminal justice system. If arrests and convictions have disproportionately
We live in a world increasingly reliant on biometric data. From fingerprint scanners on our phones to facial recognition software used in security systems and even marketing, our unique biological traits are being captured
