Companies that tested their technology in a handful of supermarkets, pubs, and on websites set them to predict whether a person looks under 25, not 18, allowing a wide error margin for algorithms that struggle to distinguish a 17-year-old from a 19-year-old..</p><p>AI face scans were never designed for children seeking asylum, and risk producing disastrous, life-changing errors. Algorithms identify patterns in the distance between nostrils and the texture of skin; they cannot account for children who have aged prematurely from trauma and violence. They cannot grasp how malnutrition, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and exposure to salt water during a dangerous sea crossing might profoundly alter a child’s face.."</p><p><a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/07/31/uk-plans-ai-experiment-on-children-seeking-asylum" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">hrw.org/news/2025/07/31/uk-pla</span><span class="invisible">ns-ai-experiment-on-children-seeking-asylum</span></a></p><p><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/FaceRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FaceRecognition</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Asylum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Asylum</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/KI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KI</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Kids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kids</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Children</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Migration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Migration</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Refugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Refugees</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Gro%C3%9Fbritannien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Großbritannien</span></a></p>

🇺🇦🇪🇺 cweickhmann<p>I thing Budapest Pride has the potential to show how bad the false positive rate of face recognition really is. If Orbàn dares to test it. Given how his ban was simply ignored, I doubt he dares because that would certainly jeopardise his power. But who knows. Maybe sucking up to Putin or his and his goons' own inner repressed self demands it.</p><p>Side note: unlike being queer, face recognition is banned in the EU (unless national security, lalala), so I can only hope the rather queer-unfriendly conservative folks for the most part in control of the EU commission do respect the rule of law and prosecute this breach of the ban in every single case.</p><p><a href="https://qoto.org/tags/ArticleOffert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArticleOffert</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Facerecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Facerecognition</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Budapest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Budapest</span></a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Pride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pride</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/article-offert/b6b0f44d7fa6-6616349/a-la-marche-des-fiertes-de-budapest-une-foule-immense-defie-l-interdiction-de-viktor-orban-on-n-a-jamais-vu-autant-de-monde" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lemonde.fr/article-offert/b6b0</span><span class="invisible">f44d7fa6-6616349/a-la-marche-des-fiertes-de-budapest-une-foule-immense-defie-l-interdiction-de-viktor-orban-on-n-a-jamais-vu-autant-de-monde</span></a></p>
