Is this the new currency to purchase business licenses?

Casino Developers Want to Fill Times Square With Surveillance Drones

According to a document obtained by the New York Times:

In their letter seeking support for the casino, SL Green and Caesars said that gambling revenues could be used to more than double the number of “public safety officers” in Times Square and to deploy surveillance drones.
The letter said a new casino would result in more than 50 new artificial intelligence camera systems “strategically placed throughout Times Square, each capable of monitoring 85,000+ people per day.”





Can the system tell when someone uses a cell phone “hands free?” How sure is it that what I am holding to my ear is a cell phone?

Police using new AI cameras to catch drivers using their phones - 'you will get caught'

The technology, which can also detect whether drivers are wearing a seat belt, is being rolled out on select routes across the two counties over the next two months. The trial is being funded by the Vision Zero South West road safety partnership and overseen by Devon and Cornwall Police.





Have these “trivial” lawsuits and fines become an accepted ‘cost of doing business?’

Have these been anticipated and ‘priced in’ already? (Was Clearview created to be a circuit breaker?)

France fines Clearview AI maximum possible for GDPR breaches

… On the basis of the information brought to its attention, the restricted committee decided to impose a maximum financial penalty of 20 million euros, according to article 83 of the GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation].”

The EU’s GDPR allows for penalties of up to 4% of a firm’s worldwide annual revenue for the most serious infringements — or €20 million, whichever is higher. But the CNIL’s press release makes clear it’s imposing the maximum amount it possibly can here.

Whether France will see a penny of this money from Clearview remains an open question, however.

Is an Outsourced DPO Function the Answer?

When Instagram was fined a record 405 million euros in Ireland this month for alleged mishandling of teens’ data, it was another high-profile reminder of the importance of data privacy in the digital world. With complex regulatory requirements, increased consumer awareness and greater expectations placed on organisations, the way in which customer data is generated, processed and stored has become a key consideration for companies of all sizes.

For some, the solution lies in outsourcing the Data Protection Officer (DPO) function to legal or priacy expert partners, providing the external expertise required to maintain compliance. This approach has its benefits, but it comes with considerations too. Let’s explore the pros and cons of outsourcing a business’ data protection function.
