Benefits to Hum anity Increases throughput of target audience (passengers, clients, etc.) Decreases labor costs of over stressed security workforce, enables those people to focus on higher value tasks Optimizes human ability to recognition threats through computer assisted vision, pattern, and anomaly detection Delivers less friction and more value to target audience
Privacy is a Critical I ssue in This New Era of AI Corporations and governments must build trust with customers and citizens. They have a responsibility to maintain individual’s privacy and secure data. Customers should have the choice to affirmatively opt-in to programs. Citizens have the right to understand how their data are being used, transparently. Any solution which relies on customer or citizen identity must address privacy and security challenges. • Federal Privacy Legislation is an imperative! • Transparency on data must be clear.
Start of a trend? BIPA – 2 0 0 8 Rev. Code Wash. (ARCW) § 19.375.010(1) – 2 0 1 7 Requires companies to provide notice of collection for a commercial purpose, but passive consent allowed Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001(a) et seq. – 2 0 0 9 • Permits collection of biometrics for a commercial purpose based on informed consent of the data subject
I f so few legal standards, w hy the concern? Regulatory interest Self-policing Cost of technology (capturing) data is dropping Sophistication of technology is increasing I nterest in biometrics is rising Perception concerns Ethical questions
W hat questions should w e be asking? Purpose? What type of use is allowed? I s participation mandatory, Scope of population? optional, or a combination? What external and internal What external and Scope of data? protections exist? internal protections exist? Third party involvement? Who is using the system?
