@MiaD @CummingsRenee A3: Facial recognition is also being used to diagnose genetic, medical conditions, and to identify and monitor patients for safety reasons. I.e. elderly patients trying to leave care facilities. All these applications rely on highly sensitive data (1/5) #AIEthics #TwitterChat
@MiaD @CummingsRenee We now witness the use of facial recognition by governments to identify people who may have violated quarantine orders. It might in fact help mitigate the pandemic but it can also produce anti-democratic, discriminatory structures on a broad scale. (2/5)

@MiaD @CummingsRenee In times of crisis the urgency of action leads us to become more accepting for measures that restrict fundamental rights and freedoms, such as privacy, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, due process (3/5)

@MiaD @CummingsRenee Also, the same technology does not necessarily work the same for everybody, which can reinforce existing inequalities! I.e. Facial recognition systems are far better in identifying white men, than black women. ➡️Check out gendershades.org (4/5)

@MiaD @CummingsRenee The EU is currently debating a temporary ban on FR in public spaces. I sincerely hope they'll go through with this! The prohibition-period would be used to get a better grip of the possible impacts and to develop safeguards for risk mitigation. (5/5)
