    It sounds like a good step, but I’m sad it seems to only specify “AI-Powered”. We’ve had effective methods of bulk facial recognition for years without “AI”. Not AS effective, maybe, but definitely effective enough. Also, I didn’t see in the linked article - did they define “AI” well? I guess I feel like it would be easy to bypass that definition.

      It’s the article inserting buzzwords. The EU banned “the use of real-time biometrics in public spaces”.

      You can still run facial recognition on specific pictures or video that has the perp of a crime on it, you just can’t do it to everyone all the time.

          The EU has a general ban on “AI” or any sort of automation making decisions about people who are not aware of the exact criteria those decisions are made about.

          That for example spares us from a lot of automatic CV screening as well as law enforcement profiling with AI tools. We do it mostly the old-school way of just having racist / classist cops.
