The company says it trialled the technology to tackle increased theft and fraud and is considering appealing the Privacy Commissioner's ruling. - রিটেইল জায়ান্ট কেমার্টের বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ উঠেছে, তারা চেহারা শনাক্তকরণ প্রযুক্তি ব্যবহার করে গ্রাহকদের গোপনীয়তা লঙ্ঘন করেছে। কোম্পানিটি জানিয়েছে, চুরি ও প্রতারণা বেড়ে যাওয়ায় তা মোকাবিলার জন্য তারা পরীক্ষামূলকভাবে এই প্রযুক্তি ব্যবহার করেছিল। এছাড়া, তারা প্রাইভেসি কমিশনারের রায়ের বিরুদ্ধে আপিল করার বিষয়টি বিবেচনা করছে।

Despite community pushback, the Milwaukee Police Department has been considering expanding its use of facial recognition technology. Milwaukee's Equal Rights Commission and the majority of the Milwaukee Common Council have come out in opposition to the use of facial recognition - citing concerns over misidentification, particularly of people of color.  Others, like Emilio De Torre from the Milwaukee Turners, have voiced concerns over how data collected from facial recognition technology could we weaponized against the community - especially as the Trump Administration continues its crusade against undocumented people.  De Torre is also a member of WUWM's Advisory Board. He recently wrote an Op-Ed for the Shepherd Express, arguing that facial recognition data is bound to end up in the hands of federal authorities and he joins me now to talk about this issue. Emilio, thanks so much for being here. 

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Unisearch Expert Opinion Services, we explore how forensic and cognitive psychology is being applied in the justice system, and how – together with facial recognition technology – such developments may have implications for legal proceedings. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Professor Richard Kemp, PhD, and Unisearch Expert Opinion Service business development manager Christopher Aaron Yong about Professor Kemp's research fields, why experts like him are in greater demand, the pertinence and necessity of such services in ensuring access to justice, the limitations of such scientific fields, and addressing gaps in legal proceedings. Professor Kemp and Yong also delve into the types of proceedings that such services can be applied to, the place for facial recognition technology in such conversations, risks to be navigated, implications for legal practitioners on the ground, case studies and lessons from those proceedings, and also explore how to assess the reliability of one's memory.

Send us your feedback In this episode, privacy experts Richard Wells and Suzy McMillan take a close look at the use of facial recognition technology (FRT) in New Zealand. They evaluate a recent report from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) on Foodstuffs North Island's (Foodstuffs) FRT trial, highlighting key insights for organisations considering the future use of this technology.[02:30] Suzy explains what FRT is and how it works by mapping and comparing facial features to create a biometric template for either verification (one-to-one matching) or identification (one-to-many matching), and how it's applied in different contexts.[04:00] Richard and Suzy discuss the privacy concerns associated with FRT, including mass surveillance, profiling, bias and accuracy, and cultural considerations under tikanga Māori. Suzy also highlights the OPC's guidance that biometric information should be considered as sensitive personal information requiring a high standard of care.[06:21] They consider the privacy safeguards implemented by Foodstuffs during their FRT trial to mitigate these risks including immediate deletion of unmatched facial data, strict watchlist criteria, exclusion of vulnerable individuals, decentralised systems, and human oversight to verify matches.[09:33] Richard notes that Foodstuffs' justification under IPP1 of the Privacy Act for using FRT was to reduce serious retail crime. Suzy then explains that the technology's demonstrated effectiveness in relation to this, was a key factor in the OPC's finding that the trial complied with the Privacy Act 2020, further supported by Foodstuffs' strong emphasis on transparency and public engagement throughout its rollout.[12:21] Suzy emphasises the OPC's clear message and key finding, that the Foodstuffs trial report does not constitute a blanket approval for the use of FRT. They then discuss the OPC's recommended considerations for organisations contemplating FRT deployment, noting the overall importance of robust privacy governance processes.[17:54] Suzy then discusses the impact of the new Biometric Processing Privacy Code (the Code), which comes into force on 3 November. The Code will supplement the Privacy Act by introducing specific obligations for the use of biometric technologies such as FRT, signalling a more regulated future. She also refers listeners to our earlier podcast on the proposed Code.  Information in this episode is accurate as at the date of recording, 10 October 2025. Please contact Richard Wells, Suzy McMillan or our Data protection team if you need legal advice and guidance on any of the topics discussed in the episode.Please get in touch to receive an episode transcript and don't forget to rate, review or follow MinterEllisonRuddWatts wherever you get your podcasts. You can also email us directly at techsuite@minterellison.co.nz and sign up to receive technology updates via your inbox here.  Additional resources:For show notes and additional resources visit minterellison.co.nz/podcasts

We replay a conversation with Dr Susie Allanson and Lizzie O'Shea from 12 July 2022 about the fight for reproductive rights in Australia. Dr Susie Allanson was a clinical psychologist for more than 35 years. Twenty-six of those years were at the Fertility Control Clinic in Melbourne. Susie led the clinic's campaign for safe access to abortion. Lizzie O'Shea is a lawyer and writer. Lizzie represented the Fertility Control Clinic in the Supreme Court case to stop the harassment of staff and patients by anti-abortion fanatics. Together they wrote the book, 'Empowering Women: From Murder & Misogyny to High Court Victory'. In this conversation Dr Susie Allanson begins by speaking about their book and then Lizzie O'Shea speaks about the overturning of Roe v Wade and provides more insight into the Australian context. Please note that since the airing of this conversation, WA has decriminalised abortion as of 27 March 2024. Dr Sophie Rudolph, Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne, researches the educational implications of settler colonialism and is engaged with a range of communities in efforts towards transforming systems of oppression. Sophie speaks about the Anti-Palestinian Racism in Schools' report (which she co-authored) that was launched on Friday 26 September 2025. The report brings together 15 months of testimonies from students, teachers, and school community members, revealing how anti-Palestinian racism is deployed and normalised in schools.  Bee leads the Asian Migrant Project at Vixen. They do outreach and support work and advocate for sex workers. They are also one of the co-founders of Justice for Our Sisters, a collective of Asian and Asian Migrant sex workers in Naarm. Last time we had Bee on the show, we spoke  about the ongoing raids by Australian Border Force that are targeting Asian migrant sex workers, Vixen's new project called Rising Red Lantern, and what is required to achieve full decriminalisation of sex work in Victoria. Bee is back in the studio with us this morning to give us an update on the violence and threats made to Asian migrant sex workers and the upcoming fundraising event for Rising Red Lantern. *Listeners are advised that the conversation includes descriptions of police raids and references to violence against sex workers. If you are a migrant sex worker in need of support, you can reach out to your local peer organisation.

New Zealand-based security company Auror is set to start trialling live facial recognition technology. This latest development will alert retailers when someone who's been flagged for serious offending walks into their business. Global Head of Risk at Auror, Nick McDonnell, says there's plenty of safeguards built into this technology to ensure people's privacy is protected. "There's lots of different ways they can respond - they can greet the person as they walk in or they might not approach at all because the person's been known to be violent or aggressive or carrying a weapon. It just gives them that really critical moment's notice." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS After a month praying to survive the hell that is Milwaukee, Gus T. returned to Seattle and our typical weekend duties with the Compensatory Call-In. Even though no longer in "Cream City," Gus has remained mindful of Wisconsin news. On Thursday, two Milwaukee Officers were shot, one critically, by an alleged black male gunman. They day before Gus departed #MKE, officers were at City Hall insisting that they need Facial Recognition Technology to curb this sort of violence. And this week before the shooting, officers insisted that drones are also a necessary tool on the war on crime. In Texas, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony was formally indicted for murder in the killing of a White student at a spring school track meet. Gus suspects many Victims of Racism have forgotten about this case after the initial maelstrom. #BradfordBeach INVEST in The C.O.W.S. - https://cash.app/$TheCOWS #TheCOWS16Years CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Taking a page right out of George Orwell's 1984, governments across America are building an Orwellian police state using facial recognition technology.

For two years, police in New Orleans secretly relied on facial recognition technology to scan city streets in search of suspects. It is a surveillance method without any known precedent - Michael talks about it with Nathan Freed Wessler, Deputy Director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project.

As Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael engage in talks to form the next Irish government, the controversial issue of facial recognition technology (FRT) in policing is back in the spotlight. With plans to introduce FRT into Garda operations already on the table, this topic is expected to become a flashpoint in political and public debates in the months ahead. Adding to the conversation, a public Think-In event titled Facing the Future: Let's Talk Facial Recognition Technology was held recently at The Digital Hub as part of Beta Festival. Co-organised by Dr Ciara Bracken-Roche and Dr Emma Clarke of the ADAPT Research Ireland Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, the event provided a platform for experts and citizens to critically assess the potential impact of FRT on Irish society. The session featured contributions from Daniel Kahn Gillmor, Senior Staff Technologist at the ACLU, and Olga Cronin, Senior Policy Officer at the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL). Both highlighted major concerns, including the risk of bias in FRT systems, threats to personal privacy, and the broader implications for civil liberties. Participants were invited to discuss real-world scenarios, such as using FRT to identify a vandal after a car was damaged or tracking a hit-and-run driver. These discussions revealed a complex web of ethical and practical questions about how this technology might be used responsibly, or abused, in law enforcement. The Think-In also included Calculating Empires, an immersive research visualisation by Kate Crawford and Vladan Joler. The artwork examines how technological systems and societal structures have evolved over centuries, offering a powerful lens through which to view the modern surveillance landscape. This debate takes place against the backdrop of significant political change. As the new government takes shape, its stance on FRT will likely signal Ireland's broader approach to balancing technological innovation with the protection of civil rights. The issue became especially pressing last year, when the government proposed using FRT for serious crimes, including riots and violent disorder, following public disturbances in Dublin. Supporters argue that FRT could improve Garda efficiency by speeding up video analysis in investigations, while opponents, including the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, warn of the potential for mass surveillance and errors that disproportionately affect vulnerable communities. Calls for robust safeguards and comprehensive legislative scrutiny have been growing louder. With public trust, privacy, and security at stake, the debate over facial recognition technology is certain to remain a high-profile issue as the next government sets its priorities. ADAPT researchers are at the forefront of addressing these challenges. Dr. Abeba Birhane and Dr. Ciara Bracken-Roche have made expert testimonies for the Oireachtas' Joint Committee on Justice's Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill 2023, and co-authored prominent opinion pieces warning about granting Gardaí extensive FRT capabilities risks creating "roaming surveillance units" and foreshadows "big problems" if such technology is adopted without rigorous safeguards. ADAPT's work on trustworthy AI focuses on ensuring that emerging technologies like FRT are developed and deployed ethically, transparently, and with public trust at their core.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- Can the Federal Government Be Trusted with Facial-Recognition Technology? Alex Welz of National Review writes: “The General Services Administration, which controls the public's access to government services, is introducing new facial-identification technology that has Republican lawmakers concerned about the privacy of their constituents. The GSA's ‘login.gov,' which describes itself as the ‘front door' to the federal government, announced earlier this month that users will now have the option of uploading a selfie to confirm their identity.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/can-the-federal-government-be-trusted-with-facial-recognition-technology-were-about-to-find-out/ 6:30pm- On Tuesday, The Atlantic published a piece written by Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg which alleges that Donald Trump praised Nazi generals for their loyalty, and that he once demeaned fallen American soldier Vanessa Guillen—refusing to pay $60,000 for her funeral. On Wednesday, Guillen's sister—Mayra Guillen—responded to Goldberg's claims via her X account: “Wow. I don't appreciate how you are exploiting my sister's death for politics—hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.” During a CNN townhall event, Kamala Harris explicitly stated that she believes Trump is a “fascist.” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre echoed identical sentiments on behalf of the Biden-Harris Administration. On Friday, an Auschwitz survivor named Jerry Wartski appeared in a social media video demanding that Harris apologize for the outlandish comparison: “I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes. For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I've ever heard in my 75 years of living in the U.S."

Michael Wallace has the top stories from the WCBS newsroom.

Facial recognition technology, or FRT, is becoming increasingly common as businesses, governments, and law enforcement authorities look for ways to use your face to verify your identity, track your movements, and control your access to government benefits. A company called Clearview AI, for example, has scraped over 30 billion photos of people from the Internet to create a tool that lets police automatically identify people in crowds or walking down the street. That's why lobby groups such as the Electronic Frontiers Foundation have been pushing back hard against FRT, which it says is too inaccurate to be used for identifying people and is prone to racial bias, threatens privacy rights, and creates information security risks. The group argues that the government should ban the use of FRT in agencies and strictly limit its use in the private sector. Whether this slows its adoption or not remains to be seen – but in a world where your face is your identity, it's important to remain vigilant to FRT's use.

From unlocking our phones, to scanning our faces to board flights, facial recognition technology has become a ubiquitous part of modern life. And while its implementation can make life easier, what are the ramifications of companies capturing and selling our biometric data? And do we really own our faces? Our guest this week points that unregulated, this technological superpower can lead to dystopian, sci-fi novel-like applications. Kashmir Hill is a tech reporter at the New York Times and author of “Your Face Belongs to Us: A Secretive Startup's Quest to End Privacy as We Know It,” in which she chronicles the rise of Clearview AI. She joins WITHpod to discuss the growth of this technology, privacy concerns, ways in which our online “dossiers” are linked to our faces and more.

Continuing our Fourth Amendment mini-series, Hunter is joined today by Clare Garvie, the facial recognition technology guru at the Fourth Amendment Center. As she lays out in her excellent report on facial recognition technology, its use is widespread, and that should frighten everyone. Thanks to Clare's expertise, hopefully each of you will walk away understanding that facial recognition technology is not something that police departments should be using any time soon.   Guests: Clare Garvie, Training and Resource Counsel, Fourth Amendment Center, NACDL   Resources: Fourth Amendment Center https://www.nacdl.org/Landing/FourthAmendmentCenter A Forensic Without the Science: Face Recognition in U.S Criminal Investigation http://forensicwithoutscience.org/ New Jersey v Arteaga https://epic.org/nj-court-says-defendant-entitled-to-detailed-discovery-on-the-facial-recognition-search-that-identified-him/ Wrongful Arrest of Porsha Woddruff https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/06/business/facial-recognition-false-arrest.html Email Clare cgarvie@nacdl.org     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN

Part 2 of our conversation with Porcha Woodruff, a pregnant woman in Detroit who was wrongfully arrested and jailed for robbery and carjacking. A month after her arrest, prosecutors dropped the case because the Detroit police had made the arrest based on a faulty AI, artificial intelligence, facial recognition match.

Facial-recognition software is leading to wrongful arrests, but the secrecy around the use of the technology makes it hard to know just how often it happens. So far, there are at least five known cases in which police use of facial-recognition algorithms have led to mistaken-identity arrests in the United States. All five were Black men. Nate Freed Wessler is part of the team representing one of those men in a case against the Detroit Police Department. He’s also a deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology project. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Wessler about facial-recognition technology and why it leads to these outcomes.
