The newly-agreed #German government coalition called for a Europe-wide ban on public #facialRecognition and other dangerous biometric #surveillance, as part of negotiations over the forthcoming #AI Act.
@downey This sounds like great news.
While the UK is not in the EU following brexit, this sort of thing could force the UK government to do the same, people are not going to come here if they are not afforded the same protections as other parts of Europe be it for employment, holiday, business etc etc
So if the UK fails to follow suit the economic consequences could be very real indeed.
Lets change Could force, to WILL HOPEFULLY FORCE
Not sure about rest of the world combined but certainly more CCTV that most countries. Didn't exactly deter / stop the stabbing of the 12 year old girl in Liverpool on Thursday.
Well there is little in the way of punishment as a deterrent anyway so makes no difference in that respect.
