The UK has announced large-scale policing reforms, including new investments into artificial intelligence and increased Live Facial Recognition (LFR) deployments.
The Home Office has pledged to fund 40 new LFR vans as part of a national program to expand facial recognition capabilities in town centres across England and Wales, according to a white paper published on Monday.
I do not understand the governance of the UK
Why haven’t the people thrown the parties on their asses?
Private ownership of the media and relentless propaganda.
Yeah because government run media is such a great idea. /SARCASM
I’d take BBC/PBS over Fox News any day.
The broadcasts’ content on PBS are still privately owned. The part that is publicly funded is the broadcasting of the content.
For example, Bob Ross video recordings are owned by Bob Ross Inc which has been fought over for decades. That one is a messy example, but it applies to every other media as well.
Jesus Christ, UK. What the actual fuck.
See, USA, that’s how you roll out an Orwellian society. This way you can identify undesirables from the comfort of your offices, and then silently dispose of them when nobody is looking. No public executions needed!
It actually doesn’t do that. AI cameras such as flock cams have a history of misidentification, even framing unrelated third parties.
This is less Orwell and more Idiocracy.
How 1984 of them.
Usually when you think of reform, you imagine things getting better, not things getting worse…
New headline:
UK POLICE GETS FACIAL FROM LFR, WATCH LIVE ON MONDAY!
