  • Mass Biometric Surveillance

    AI-Enabled National Police Facial Recognition Surveillance System

    The deployment of AI-enabled facial recognition cameras by the Interior Ministry launched in June 2023 (https://web.archive.org/save/https://akipress.com/news:714362) qualifies as an unacceptable-risk use of AI because it enables mass biometric surveillance in public spaces without clear legal safeguards transparency or oversight. Although authorities claim the cameras recognise only wanted criminals continuous 24/7 facial scanning in public areas inherently captures biometric data of all passersby posing risks of privacy violations unlawful data processing and potential misuse that could chill freedom of movement expression and assembly.
