From gondar in northern ethiopia. We dont pump in the word on casualties, but what we know is that this is a new coalition. All the conflict, that pool hall been restricted to the borders of european, particularly to the think about a region in publishable borders. Something that would bring it into the conflict very quickly. Well, in our headlines, amini and state security saying its foiled. An assassination attempt on the prime minister, nicole passion yun, the National Security service has made several arrests on, is refusing to step down despite large protests on millions are angry with him for signing a cease fire with azerbaijan to and 6 weeks of fighting. Well, i think all mean eons of been torching their own homes as they leave images just outside nagornokarabakh before sundays handover of land to azerbaijan. Many of lived there for more than 20 years. Nephew has about this agreement because it forces them to give up their territory. And all the stories were following. The u. S. Is set another record for a new coven, 1000 cases, reporting more than 180000 infections. In 24 hours, deaths are also rising quickly. 35 states now require face coverings to be worn in public. Search and rescue. Teams in the philippines are still trying to reach flood victims. After typhoon vanco floodwaters have started to recede, but thousands of people remain trapped in the region. Its the worst storm to hit the country this year. 53 people to have died. Thats it for myself and the team here in london all hell the algorithm is next to stay with us. As donald trump been good for america, everything is in disarray. The media, of course, taken every bit of bait that the hands of the market more fact that america has been a force for good in the world. From the American People get inspiration from him and the other half cringe, your weekly, take on us politics and society. Thats the bottom line. I can unlock my phone with my face and you can access your bank account with your voice. And fingerprints are often the Key Information on a national i. D. Card. All of this face voice fingerprints. There are biometrics, unique, algorithmic measurements of us that are revolutionizing the process of identification of the biometrics a far from perfect. They convenience and seeming infallibility comes at a cops most crucially, our privacy well biometrics are individual, unique so much so that the voice served as a Gold Standard for identification with really high levels of accuracy and Strong Security fingerprints and d. N. A. Databases have been the mainstay for Police Investigators for decades, and across many parts of the world. People who are literally used thumb prints in place of written signature. Stephanie is, has been researching the growing use of biometrics. Theres also your face now which is being recorded. So thats just your facial point. Thats called facial Recognition Technology. Your voice is biometric data. Theres also something called gait analysis which is how you walk. So those are ways that they can identify you. And another way is behavioral biometrics that might be your online behavior. So how you use their mouth, where you click on things as you go through the internet, but even how regular they are posting on facebook is a lot, but you can, can get just from people ordinary life. And thats why its so important to have this debate and the fighting if we all are giving our consent about whether or not we want such technology being used. And if so, under what circumstances and what regulatory and checks the world is on a mission. A mission to give everybody a legal identity by 2030. That was a target set by the United Nations as part of it, Sustainable Development goals campaign. The key segment of the population that the un is focusing on is the more than 1000000000 people who currently have no way to prove their identity. The un verified include millions of refugees, traffic children, homeless and other people and never get a chance to establish documents. And create a digital footprint thats so essential for modern life. Here exactly. Can the United Nations World Food Program is using Biometric Technology iris scans to provide aid to the camps 75 1000 syrian residents. Refugees can shop for their groceries with the blink of an eye. No need for bank card or registration papers. The system is quite aptly named. When a shopper has their iris scanned, the World Food Program system verifies the persons identity against a biometric database held by the Un High Commission for refugees. The u. N. H. C. R. Then it checks the account, balance, confirms the purchase, and prints and i pay receipt. All of this happens in seconds and according to the world, food program is not only makes transactions quicker that more secure. Here in jordan, we use biometrics out indication for human reason. 1, 100 percent accountability on the identity of the person put chasing. And using the assistance that we provide. And 2nd me to facilitate that adoption process of the beneficiaries by not using the card by not using a pin in camps, which is an environment where beneficial. We can to go to the supermarket to move people times during the month for them going with their own iris. Its easier been going with a car, but it could be done by watching the iris unable shopping process is both fascinating and a bit unnerving. This is a super high tech system thats been rolled out in what you could call a low rights environment. Sure, people here are under the protection of the United Nations and have more rights than they would have in the war zones of the countries. They fled from such as syria. However, they also have little choice when it comes to giving up their biometrics, erupting out. Programs. Taking somebodys biometric data from them is about the most personal data that you could take. These are not people who are thoroughly are in a position to ask for legal representation to have this explained. Second, if they dont want it, what is the alternative that they can exercise . Instead . Are they using behavioral psychology as something nudge the area to make it work . Its just easier to hand over your data, and then you get your food and your clothes and your money faster. Because that would be unethical. Were testing out to get an extremely experimental, really Invasive Technology on people who actually have some of the right protections that anyone with a middle class person living in france or germany or the United States. Or sweden can fence, use their iris to pay for things or to transact. Probably not. Its easy to see the immense potential of the ip to track a dispersement, smooth out payments and reduce the chances of corruption from the world. Food program says the benefits go even further. They are able to monitor Shopping Habits and traditional take, and theres a possibility in the future that the Credit Histories of the refugees could help them. Bank accounts getline. They also think theyve got the security bit covered. So the reprieve regulates the management of theyve got to produce through it got to show theyre going to remember everything. Its so crude that agreement we are able to access the data Sensitive Data, which again does not include me just the case. Id need for money, but indication were confident that that beat up being good cryptic is what public, the reason why we are doing that. I would really buy the privacy and in fact, assessment on the project to get into the if that had nukes but in the world, were able to talk of them and address them properly before they come to us. U. N. H. C. R. Remain fully committed to their Biometrics Registration Program so much so that theyre rapidly expanding it with the aim of be active in 75 countries by 2020. There remains lots of problematic questions that are yet to be fully answered. Such as is the tech foolproof . Who has access and how can anyone plan for the unforeseen issues to come . These are the kinds of questions that have made other aid organizations pause before jumping on board with Biometric Technology. In 2015, oxfam voluntarily imposed a moratorium on its use of by metrics in its work. Its stated, given the number of unknowns around most effective operation and governance models, and risks of this incredibly Sensitive Data falling into the wrong hands. We felt it was best not to become an early adopter one field in which biometrics has long been is security and surveillance. And facial recognition is one of the most popular right now. In china, theres been an exponential increase in the use of facial tracking and Artificial Intelligence to monitor citizens. The United States also currently operates one of the largest facial Recognition Systems in the world with a database of 117000000. Americans with photos typically drawn from drivers, licenses. And in the u. K. , Police Forces have been trialing life issue recognition since 2016 at public spaces such as shopping centers, football matches, protests, music events, and crowded city spots. So this green band thats behind me here in Central London is the heart of the facial Recognition Technology trial thats being run by the metropolitan police. And what its doing is its basically scanning peoples faces when they walk past and then comparing that to a database that has want to defendants all suspects on the met police say facial recognition could enable them to more easily protect people, prevent offenses and bring offenders to justice, however, privacy groups such as big brother, watch, say the technology is authoritarian and lawless. The groups legal and policy officer or a ferris even goes so far as to say that facial recognition is possibly the most dangerous surveillance mechanism thats ever been invented. This fresh Recognition Technology can capture up to 300 faces a seconds which could be around 18000 faces in a minute. Its a vast, vast number of people whom the police can identify, check against Police Databases for that police or immigration. So what were seeing is police. I dont being able to identify people in seconds, but put so much power in the hands of the state and the police, which i think is fundamentally wrong. Its not democratically accountable because theres no legal basis for this. So this is an intense, intrusive, and all thora terror and surveillance technology. While advocates for facial recognition would debate some of course assertions. One thing is undeniable. The technology currently being used by the u. K. Police is dangerously inaccurate. Latest figures show that 96 percent of the met police as socalled matches were misidentifications. And this Research Showing that many facial recognition algorithms would disproportionately misidentify darker skin tones and when because theres a new mirrors and they very ranging from poor quality c. C. T. V. Images to the fact that the algorithms are trained so to speak. Using faces at a mostly white and male, this technology and looks like a really nice, quick fix to the fact that we have not got as much money to pay for human intelligence operations. So it sounds great in theory. The problem is, its the work very well on people who are not white men, which is quite a lot of the population on the planet being arrested, wrongfully means that you get put into predictive policing algorithms. So the more often youre having contact with Law Enforcement, the more you are at risk of being stopped again, even erroneous lee and also people in your network because they build the network out if number just about you. Proponents of facial recognition in the u. K. Will argue that issues with accuracy can be fixed, they arent wrong, technology can always be improved on. Whats a bigger concern is that currently there are no laws governing the use of facial technology in the country. Whether its the state using it or even private companies, i think whats really troubling at the moment is the technology is being rolled out without legislation and empowered regulators. This is not technology to have a very good track record of being countable. So i can find out who is using it under what circumstances, what weve done with the data stored. Whats the track record of Cyber Security on keeping that data protected . All of the things we have no idea has just been rolled out when people feel that theyre being observed all the time. That has a really Chilling Effect which the things like your right to protest. Your right to go to a job interview, to hang out with some friends, to go to church. These are things that perhaps the state doesnt have a right to keep an eye on. The met police have defended the trials, saying they quote. And that members of the public or through post isnt leaflets. But at the trial i was at that would be the word. There was literally how people rushing through the space. And the chances of seeing the tiny signs reading the leaflets, or even understanding what the unmarked van was being useful when minimal. I stopped a few people to see what they thought the trial is, not the level of invasion of privacy, but then we live in not wild, in my opinion. I think its a good thing to have facial recognition because as long as youre not doing anything bad and it also helps the police track people down. To be honest, there are technologies going at the moment. This will be the norm all around the world. So i think we just need to get used to it. If youve done nothing wrong, there is no issue. I think if you really believe that the state has never done anything wrong to its citizens, then you have nothing to fear from this technology. But as we know, no state has a perfect track record, and we should not be putting so much power into the hands of the state and the police. Take a look around you in the world. The technology is already being used by certain countries. All you have to do is pick up a newspaper and see people who are being incarcerated in concentration camps in china. Right now. Biometrics data is part of that. Thats how theyre monitoring those people and tracking them. And anyone who comes into contact with them, right . So theres your proof of concept of what could be done. Now its really easy to go. That would never happen here, but your government can always change, right . So history is full of examples, but even in the broad democracies, in times of war, in times of economic difficulty, people get voted into power, who change. So you have to think about how a system is being built and what it could be used for years down the road when theres a very different political flavor. The u. K. Collects biometrics from another key segment of the population. One that many wouldnt even consider. Children. If youre aware that schools have been recording the biometrics of children for the past 20 years, it is estimated that since 1909 approximately 70 to 80 percent of children in the u. K. Have in directive with some sort of biometric device in school. Picking is a parent campaign, official rights and creator of the biometrics in school blog. I think companies are putting the tech into a School Setting because you put a compliant population in school. Children might ask a question if theyre being surveilled little bit more than general population, some because they dont know any better. The concern i have with biometrics in schools is that the way back in 1999 and throughout the whole of the next decade in 2000, is that where as an Adult Population when using biometrics at all, not even on phones. And suddenly we had children as young as 3 and 4 using their fingerprint to get in and out of school systems. The growth of affordable Biometric Technology means that fingerprints iris scans, facial recognition, and infrared palm scanning have been used to speed up access to canteens, libraries, registrations, payments, and luckys. A big selling point, of course, has been security by metric unable to access is seen as a foolproof way of keeping School Building safe. However, a big concern is how robust the systems are, who has access to the biometric data. Is there a process for deletion and what happens if the system is compromised . I also sent the puppet occasion a few years ago. Freedom of information request about have they checked the software . They tekton kryten standards . Is that adhering to sort of International Standards of the hardware . Is it secure . Nobody can answer. No, no, weve never text system. No, with that method at edwins national standards, its just seems to have survived being gone under the carpet and nobody is aware of. You know, whats in schools, whats being sold to schools, who are thoughts as to whether or not theres been any biometric data breaches for entire generations of British School children. Questions of consent around their biometrics have been bypassed to a great extent. It was only in 2012 that a law was enacted putting in place processes for consent to be given or withheld. The overall effect of by metrics in schools, however, is that the sharing in use of very personal data and the implications of surveillance at the normalised thats millions of british children whove been taught to understand that its no big deal to hand over your body data. In order to get a service or a product, they dont understand how it can be abused necessarily. Theres a reason that they should understand it because nobodys helping them to understand it. We havent had public discussion about it, the test, but its not, it isnt necessarily the tag because weve got the tech already 6 that and if you go into schools and you desensitise a normalize the surveillance technology, the smart thing is there already, you know, pretty objecting to it, so i think theres a good argument sort of for all hold to be a little bit wary of the word smart and especially when its loaded with smart cities or smart notorious because it is to sense the assailants. It would be one thing if extensive biometric systems would be just used by governments or state funded organization like the un it would make the lack of accountability or inaccuracy or outdated security protocols any easier to live with. But at least across many countries, governments can be questioned and pressured to give answers of some form. The reality, however, is that biometrics are increasingly being used by private companies. Shopping malls, recruitment agencies, online d. N. A. , in ancestry services, and even private security companies. All of them taking and using our by metrics and finding out how the technologies being used, what daughter is being stored and with whom its been shit, not just today, but also in the future. Involves a lot of probing because these arent transparent systems. Even some of them are seemingly benign, data driven parks can pose a threat. A lot of people, for instance, are really interested in finding out about their family history. So theyre handing over their d. N. A. To Companies Like the unique combination of the Worlds Largest d. N. A. Mitri databases. Who can show you a more precise picture of your origins. You as a citizen, have fewer rights about your d. N. A. With a private company than you do with Law Enforcement. Right there, like that in your head for just a moment and follow the implications through and from country. If your d. N. A. Could be used to reveal all sorts of, for instance, predispositions to Health Problems that you might have. And in countries where there isnt National Health insurance, and you have to pay to be insured for your help, that could be used against you. And you would never know maybe even how they got the data because this is all being potentially traded by 3rd party brokers because its not illegal yet because no ones regulated it. Your biometrics are really powerful, datta said, and maybe not in the 2 id you 2 more reliably track you, but also to judge and to make assessments about your personality and your behavior. There are companies that offer this exact take. For example, on its website, it says that leverage is ai and video to provide comprehensive, candid insights. When a candidate takes a video interview there creating thousands of unique points of data. A candidate to verbal and nonverbal cues give us insight into their emotional engagement. Thinking and problem solving style. According to high view, its services are already being used by big employers like unilever, vodafone and dunkin donuts. This is something thats increasingly used in the real world, just that the share range of things we can, i do, and the ways that we can use data to affect peoples lives. So for example, Machine Learning systems are used to recommend adverts and shop ensnares, but theyre also used to assess people for jail sentences. And so if those algorithms have got problems, whether they be technical in accuracies or with an algorithm, we need to start addressing them trying to choose. Ryan kelly is a researcher on computing and Information Systems at the university of melbourne. Hes been involved in an elaborate climate trick experiment to raise awareness about the potentials and limitations of biometric analysis. Its called biometric mira, and i gave it a go using nothing but an image of my face. This is to produces a detailed report and its assessment of my age, race level of attractiveness, and even aspects of my personality, ranging from happiness and wed miss to aggressiveness and responsibility to teach the algorithm to do this. Research is ask human volunteers to judge thousands of photos for the same characteristics every time. And every day yet you really need to know her, you know, and youre getting that right now. Its easy to laugh at the results or shrug them off as just a bit of fun, but theres more to it than that. So one of the reasons its important to teach people about the limitations of Artificial Intelligence. And these kinds of analyses is because people might assume that because its done by a computer, its objective, im correct. And what they might not realize is actually an operation like by much marrow draws on a data set of faces that have been rated by people. And so those ratings contain human viruses. And so one example in the states of biometric marriage is there anybody with a beard is classified as aggressive. So of course i am classified as an aggressive person by biometric merit, even though i dont think i am, i hope im not. So if an operation like this is the point in a real world immediately that people are classified perhaps unfairly and in ways that arent accurate in my say. So for example, you could imagine a scenario where you have a set of job accounts and you want to make it easy for people to kind of filter them based on say, responsibility. And so somebody who is responsible for that task might say, oh i can use biometric merit to identify people who are high and responsibility without really realizing that its not an accurate thing to do. There are various problems associated regardless of those problems. Biometric technologies being developed unused at a rate that far outstrips the pace at which regulations are big created. In many senses, it feels as though were sitting on a ticking time bomb. We dont even have an if the bush field of ethics for technology, theres voluntary codes by companies. These are not legally enforceable. You with a citizen or a consumer cannot use these to protect you in any way to derive no comfort from not. So i think were entering a really interesting space in terms of what it means to be human. Because as we become a more quantified world, theres going to such a temptation to take all data about you and reduce you to zeroes and ones. That is what is coming and whether or not you want that to happen and have to be something thats discussed. Were going to technology out and saying that this is going to change the way that we work and live within the next 51020 years. To me that its really worrying, we need to elevate ethics for technology, right to the top of the agenda. My advice would be to know that no data is 100 percent secure. You should always be able to know who is taking your data, how its being used, what right, you have to correct or amend it. And whether or not you can delete it. And that goes for Law Enforcement or any Government Branch in your country. But also any private company that you might interact with. Children who are using technology, who owns the technology . And the question, and are they sharing it with anybody . And i think generally being prudent keeping the additional footprint in a minimum is a good thing to do also as well. I dont use great. So do you enjoy it . Its amazing. But just be very that its your data. And data ferguson has been in turmoil if youre a white police officer, thought that when youre on our black tie, your brother make a political will in my city where you are the state representative back in 9091 to me. I was out arguing one of the guys without a gun. My brother was killed. My hood dont look no, dear friend to any other hood out here. In my whole world was keel me, my son in 15 years. And i felt like, you know, at this my time to stand up, this is the most and bill for us. Im just not willing to accept what sustained so legislation can i get through. Thats going to speak to a major need for marketing that this bill identifies, use violence as a Public Health epidemic. Last year we had 200. 00 murders, the Ripple Effect of violence. When it comes, the youth, it stretches far, why . You will wait. 20 years of chinas transformation told through one young girls journey from birth to adult 2 decades following the development of her life. I mentioned, rewind returns to the story of k. K. , the girl from going joe, do you love. 7 me on the i, we just we understand the differences and similarities have cultures across the well. Somehow match i want to see aljazeera bring you the news and current fans. That matter to you. Ill just interact one of the most wanted men on the planet. He masterminded a 4500000000. 00 fraud and want to put him in jail, but you cannot help being in past ages 0 reveals never before heard recordings implicating some of the worlds most powerful players. Everyone would benefit by the abuse of power and jolo hunt for a fugitive on a just you know. Ready civilians escape conflict and atrocities in ethiopia, and now their fears neighboring eritrea could be drawn into the growing crisis. By money inside this is al jazeera life from doha. Also coming up, a media says its for old an assassination attempt on the prime ministers families, burned homes have been forced to leave this part of the cease fire. Azerbaijan.
