AI is a Wild West - and proactive governance is needed

For some time, there has been an acute need for a legal framework to govern artificial intelligence (AI). This is largely due to the number of longstanding regulatory and ethical concerns surrounding the technology since its inception. I am a firm believer that we need to properly govern AI to prevent issues such as unethical biases, the undermining of legal and regulatory norms, and the blurred lines of organizational accountability from happening.

Ban biometric surveillance in public to safeguard rights, urge EU bodies

There have been further calls from EU institutions to outlaw biometric surveillance in public.

In a joint opinion published today, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), Wojciech WiewiĆ³rowski, have called for draft EU regulations on the use of artificial intelligence technologies to go further than the Commission’s proposal in April — urging that the planned legislation should be beefed up to include a “general ban on any use of AI for automated recognition of human features in publicly accessible spaces, such as recognition of faces, gait, fingerprints, DNA, voice, keystrokes and other biometric or behavioural signals, in any context”.
