EU data watchdogs want ban on AI facial recognition

Brussels: The EU’s data protection agencies on Monday called for an outright ban on using artificial intelligence to identify people in public places, pointing to the “extremely high” risks to privacy.

In a non-binding opinion, the two bodies called for a “general ban” on the practice that would include “recognition of faces, gait, fingerprints, DNA, voice, keystrokes and other biometric or behavioral signals, in any context”.

Such practices “interfere with fundamental rights and freedoms to such an extent that they may call into question the essence of these rights and freedoms,” the heads of the European Data Protection Board and the European Data Protection Supervisor said.

The ban would include any AI that would “categorizes individuals into clusters based on ethnicity, gender, political or sexual orientation”, the statement said.

The opinion is intended for the European Commission. The EU’s executive arm unveiled a proposal in April to regulate AI that fell short of an outright ban on using the technology for public identification.

The commission’s plan includes special exceptions for allowing the use of mass facial recognition in cases such as searching for a missing child, averting a terror threat, or tracking down someone suspected of a serious crime.

Brussels hopes its first ever legislative package on AI will help Europe catch up with the US and China in a sector that spans from voice recognition to insurance and law enforcement.

In a statement, the commission said it took note of the opinion, but stood by a proposal “that provides sufficient protection and limits the use of those systems to the strict minimum necessary”.

The proposal is under negotiation at the European Parliament and among the 27 member states. The outcome could set a global standard for how tech is regulated.

How Communities Are Using IoT to Better Respond to Emergencies

IoT plays a role in contingency planning in several ways, such as measuring threats that are often difficult to monitor, alerting authorities at critical stages, and sharing relevant data to reduce risk in other areas. This year's global turmoil and natural disasters like the recent tornado in Kentucky, USA remind us that wars, natural disasters, and other emergencies are very real. According to recent studies, natural disasters have increased tenfold globally... How Communities Are Using IoT to Better Respond to Emergencies [...]

The difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN gateway module

Many people can't tell the difference between LoRaWAN wireless module and LoRa gateway wireless transmission technology, and what is their application in the field of Internet of Things. LoRaWAN refers to the networking protocol of the MAC layer, while LoRa is a physical layer protocol. Although the existing LoRaWAN networking basically uses LoRa as the physical layer, the LoRaWAN protocol also lists that GFSK can also be used as the physical layer in certain frequency bands. From the... The difference between LoRa and LoRaWAN gateway module [...]
