Tim McAllister on LinkedIn: EU backs away from proposed five-year facial recognition ban

The #EuropeanUnion won't issue a ban on facial recognition tech, as it once proposed. In a previous draft of a paper on #artificialintelligence, the #EuropeanCommission suggested a 5-year moratorium on facial recognition, so that the technology's impact could be studied, noting that it can be inaccurate, used to breach #privacy laws & facilitate #identityfraud. In a new draft, draft that #moratorium has been removed. Leaving it up to individual member states to develop their own laws.
