HYDERABAD: The State government has run into criticism regarding Samagra Vedika database, after Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit under Mozilla which runs widely known internet browser Mozilla Firefox, in a recent research denounced its usage of data by raising questions of privacy infringement.
Samagra Vedika finds a mention in the study on the uses of Automatic Decision Making Systems (ADMS) by Mozilla fellow, Divij Joshi, where he stresses on the need for more critical interrogation behind the functioning of databases. The study titled AI Observatory noted that it was the data collected through the Samagra Kutumba survey that was being used for the Samagra Vedika database, which gives a ‘360 degree profile’ of citizens.
