Nowhere To Hide
Police forces around the world are starting to use facial recognition tech to hunt suspects. But has enough thought been given to the dangers of its use?
Amazon has defended working with US police forces to provide facial recognition technology, amid concern from civil rights groups. Matt Cagle from the American Civil Liberties Union tells us why he's worried. Plus, are Europe's new data privacy rules, known as GDPR, a first step in regulating the tech sector for the benefit of its users, or will their complexity and ambiguity amount to a missed opportunity? And, why the French president thinks his country can lead the world in artificial intelligence. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with ±«Óãtv tech reporter Chris Foxx, and special guest Kate Bevan, editor of Which? Computing.
