Controversial Changes to EU's AI Act Allow Facial Recognition Without Judicial Approval
Hello, everyone! Recent alterations to the AI Act, initially endorsed in December, are stirring controversy as they permit law enforcement to employ facial recognition on recorded video without judicial consent.
German MEP Svenja Hahn decries these last-minute changes, asserting that they undermine civil rights and draw parallels with practices in authoritarian states. The revisions, concluded on December 22, diverge from the initial agreement, which mandated stricter conditions and judicial oversight for facial recognition use.
Critics express concerns about post-facial recognition technology, emphasizing the need for clarity on privacy and oversight. The final text faces scrutiny on January 24, with potential amendments requiring further legislative attention.
