Employees’ Religious Objection to Using AI at Work
Employees’ Religious Objection to Using AI at Work: “Pope Leo XIV’s lengthy encyclical on AI sparked a larger public debate on AI regulation. But it also raised a fundamental question about what role religion and religious views should play in this debate — and in the use of AI generally. We are beginning to see employees invoking religious objection to the use of AI to be exempt from an employer’s directive for employees to use AI at work. Software engineer Erin Maus reportedly received from her employer an “accommodation … and … permission … to avoid using workplace AI on religious grounds.” She is a Unitarian Universalist, according to the article. Maus requested not to use AI in her computer programming at work. Her employer granted her request as a religious accommodation…”
A “specialized” network makes it easier, but this could also be done with traffic cameras or even ring doorbells.
Kremlin disables Putin’s security cameras amid AI espionage fears
Russian authorities shut down a specialised surveillance network used to protect President Vladimir Putin and top aides after intelligence reports suggested AI-enabled tools could be used to track and target them. The Financial Times, cited by multiple outlets, linked the move to alleged Israeli operations in Iran where hacked cameras and artificial intelligence were reportedly used to locate Iran’s supreme leader. The Kremlin acted to prevent similar vulnerabilities being exploited in Moscow, reflecting heightened security concerns amid Ukraine-related threats and global espionage tensions.

This Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to License Plate Readers
404 Media no paywall: “A surveillance company plans to add sensors to automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) that would mean the devices, as well as capture the license plate of passing vehicles, would also sweep up unique identifiers of mobile phones, wearables, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices in those cars, potentially letting law enforcement identify specific drivers or passengers. The technology, called SignalTrace, would turn ALPR cameras from devices focused on tracking cars to ones that can more readily track the location of particular people. ALPR cameras have become a commonly deployed technology all across the U.S.; SignalTrace would make some of those cameras capable of collecting much more data…”
Of course that’s what they are after…
Signal says UK plan to scan devices for nude images 'endangers us all'
… Signal argues that the proposed technology could at some point be repurposed to enable state-sponsored surveillance of all citizens' comms, or used as a mass censorship tool.
