#AI#GenerativeAI#Police#Surveillance: "Moreover, if the AI-generated report is incorrect, can we trust police will contradict that version of events if it's in their interest to maintain inaccuracies? On the flip side, might AI report writing go the way of AI-enhanced body cameras? In other words, if the report consistently produces a narrative from audio that police do not like, will they edit it, scrap it, or discontinue using the software altogether?
And what of external reviewers’ ability to access these reports? Given police departments’ overly intense secrecy, combined with a frequent failure to comply with public records laws, how can the public, or any external agency, be able to independently verify or audit these AI-assisted reports? And how will external reviewers know which portions of the report are generated by AI vs. a human?
Police reports, skewed and biased as they often are, codify the police department’s memory. They reveal not necessarily what happened during a specific incident, but what police imagined to have happened, in good faith or not. Policing, with its legal power to kill, detain, or ultimately deny people’s freedom, is too powerful an institution to outsource its memory-making to technologies in a way that makes officers immune to critique, transparency, or accountability." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/05/what-can-go-wrong-when-police-use-ai-write-reports
Was discussing the neighbor's insistence that the gardeners kill everything yesterday ("they nuked the yard with Roundup" I said) and now my son is getting Roundup ads on Facebook. Yesterday, I mentioned one of my kids' names (which is very close to a brand) and that brand is being advertised to him, too. (I deleted Facebook long ago and will never load it or any of its software, because of that creepy snooping). I guess his generation just assumes they are being listened to all the time... #advertising#surveillance
Crazy documentary. It looks like a dystopian SF movie. I have no idea why people still watch movies when reality is many times more than any movie. More scary, funny, complex, interesting, mindblowing.
China is perhaps how the future will look like for people on this planet. Total control.
IT DOESN’T TAKE much to be accused of supporting terrorism these days. Lawmakers & public officials have, w/o evidence, insinuated that US news outlets provide material support for Hamas. Their letters were pol stunts. Next time might be diff., esp. if nonprofit news outlets, offend the govt. Bill: passed the HSE & bill in the Sen -would empower: TSY Sec to revoke the nonprofit status of any org. deemed “terrorist supporting.” https://theintercept.com/2024/05/10/terrorism-bill-nonprofit-journalists-israel-hamas/
Canadians: we have stopped arming Israel but we are still purchasing from Israel (mostly #surveillance defence tech) and if you have a moment to ask the government to stop, it would help: #Canada#cdnpoli
"The use of surveillance is being normalised in schools to such an extent that parents often have little understanding of how their children's data, images and footage is being captured and retained."
"NSO Group, which makes Pegasus spyware, keeps trying to extract information from Citizen Lab researchers."
"With the lawsuit now moving forward, NSO is trying a different tactic: demanding repeatedly that Citizen Lab hand over every single document about its Pegasus investigation."
Worth noting that former NSO Group CEO behind this spyware is already back with a heavily VC funded surveillance company called "Dream Security" -
This week we held an online briefing about our report, 'Prevent and the Pre-Crime State: How unaccountable data sharing is harming a generation.'
Hear more about the UK Prevent programme and its dangers from Sara Chitseko (ORG), Dr Layla Aitlhadj (PreventWatch), Ilyas Nagdee (Amnesty International UK and Professor Charlotte Heath-Kelly (The University of Warwick).
Un décret vient de modifier les dispositions réglementaires relatives au fichier automatisé des empreintes digitales (FAED) afin de permettre des interconnexions avec huit autres fichiers français et européens. Il porte également à 40 ans la durée maximale de conservation des données, pour tenir compte de la prescription de 20 ans.
Under the pretense of safeguarding, the programme harvests and retains people's data, mostly children, even when no action is taken.
We need to stop Prevent before it becomes a global problem.
