Facial recognition cameras too racially biased to use at Notting Hill carnival, say campaigners
The news article reports that a group of 11 civil liberty and anti-racist organizations have urged the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to abandon plans to use live facial recognition (LFR) technology at the upcoming Notting Hill carnival. The organizations argue that the technology is racially biased and will unfairly target the African-Caribbean community that the carnival aims to celebrate. The letter to the Met Commissioner warns that the use of LFR at the carnival will only worsen concerns about the abuse of state power and racial discrimination within the police force. The article also mentions that the use of LFR technology is subject to a legal challenge.
