TikTok agrees legal payout over facial recognition
TikTok has agreed to pay $92m (£66m) to settle a lawsuit accusing it of misusing artificial intelligence to track and store users' data.
A group challenge alleged it breached laws by using software to recognise facial features in user videos and algorithms to identify age, gender and ethnicity.
It also alleged that user data was sent to China.
TikTok denied any wrongdoing but said it wanted to avoid a court case.

A beginner’s guide to AI: Ethics in artificial intelligence
Welcome to Neural’s beginner’s guide to AI. This long-running series should provide you with a very basic understanding of what AI is, what it can do, and how it works. In addition to the article you’re currently reading, the guide contains articles on (in order published) neural networks, computer vision, natural language processing, algorithms, artificial general intelligence, the difference between video game AI and real AI, and the difference between human and machine intelligence.
… For the purposes of this article, when we discuss the ethics of AI we’re asking two simple questions:
