The amendment is part of a package of proposals for the world\u2019s first artificial intelligence laws, which could see firms fined up to \u20ac10m (\u00a38.7m) or removed from trading within the EU for breaches of the rules.<\/p>\n<p>But the ban is expected to be challenged by a group of centre-right MEPs on the grounds that biometric scanning should be deployed to combat serious crime such as terrorism. An amendment to Article 5 of the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act prohibiting the use of cameras to follow people around shops, streets, parks or any other public places will go before the committee on Thursday. It will also ban companies from using AI to identify individuals by match scans on CCTV with images posted by users on Instagram, Facebook or other social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Another amendment bans the use of so-called \u201cemotional recognition\u201d, which might allow computer systems to recognise when someone is tired, amid concern it could be misused by employers or the state. Such surveillance is already used in parts of China by traffic police. A BBC documentary on its deployment in China found it was not foolproof, with one truck driver accused of using a phone while driving who, on closer inspection, was found to have been scratching his nose.<\/p>\n<p>A proposed ban on live biometric scanning is one of 12 so-called compromise amendments, whittled down from more than 3,000, to the AI Act.Sources say it is the only one not expected to pass at the committee stage on Thursday. \u201cIt was a point of division between groups. There will be a number of colleagues in the EPP (European People\u2019s party group) who will very likely vote against that part of the compromise,\u201d Dragos Tudorache, co-rapporteur of the AI Act told the Guardian.<\/p>\n<p>Many believe the AI Act will become the gold standard of regulation around the globe, adopted by giants such as Google, Microsoft and social media companies. \u201cIs it known as the Brussels effect. If the EU moves first and has sensible standards other countries will start with the EU rules when designing their own regulation,\u201d said Zach Meyers, research fellow at the Centre for European Reform.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/44J8XDn\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/meps-to-vote-on-proposed-ban-on-big-brother-ai-facial-recognition-on-streets\/\">MEPs to vote on proposed ban on \u2018Big Brother\u2019 AI facial recognition on streets<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3519,2844,606,607,608,1067],"class_list":["post-114164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ai","tag-mep","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-vote"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114164\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
