Facial recognition is hailed by advocates as the biggest policing advance since DNA, but by opponents as dangerous and intrusive technology; a new report by Policing Insight – Facing the future: the rise of facial recognition in policing – examines all sides of the argument, with input from 34 police leaders, academics, legal experts, campaign groups and suppliers from across the UK as well as Europe, Australasia and North America, interviewed by James Sweetland to give you all the information you need on one of today’s most complex police technology debates.
❝Some of you reading this will know more about FR than others and, for some readers, this piece may be a real eye-opener into how policing is transforming and becoming more intelligence driven and precise.❞ - Chief Constable Gavin Stephens, National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) Chair

*Rant incoming. As a single mum of a young adult daughter (18), I knew, with dread, that this day would come. Women/mums- we can prepare our children for all the good & evil in the world out there but it still blindsides you when untoward things happen. 1/3
Girl is first in an empty bus. Chooses elevated window seat, listening to her music on headphones. Older man in 50s with a walking cane, fixated on her as he enters, chooses to sit beside her. Note: the entire bus is empty. There are seats for the less mobile, disabled, etc. 2/3
He leers at her, tries to talk to her, presses against her. She is uncomfortable. He gives her no space to move. She tries to ignore him in silence. All the while, very much aware of his presence, his lasciviousness. Why the actual fuck do some men behave this way? 3/3 #disgust

Russell Group, which is made up of 24 leading #universities including Oxford and Cambridge, has announced that students will be allowed to use generative AI. Here's what you need to know 🧵👇 1/ #AIEthics
Pleased to share our recent work generating a human embryoid model.

In light of recent press coverage which has unfortunately sensationalized our unpublished results, we feel it is necessary to provide a version of our data as soon as possible.

#AI in healthcare may create gaping digital divides and threaten health equities, placing marginalised groups at particular risk. In a new blog, HAI and @AIBrunel experts sound the alarm and call for the EU to act now: shorturl.at/achnV
