#47 Saving facial recognition

from plain.txt Hosted by ctrl:cyber

This week, Arj and Jordan explore an encouraging proposal for regulating facial recognition. As the risks and dangers posed by AI and technologies like facial recognition continue to become apparent, UTS Human Technology Institute has published a "model law" for facial recognition that could become the basis for better regulation of facial recognition in Australia. As well as stepping through the highlights of the model law, Arj and Jordan explore the challenges with regulating facial recognition and why a dedicated law for facial recognition is necessary in light of existing privacy regulations.
