The program turns neighbors into agents of the surveillance state One of China’s largest and most pervasive surveillance networks got its start in a small county about seven hours north of Shanghai. In 2013, the local government in Pingyi County began installing tens of thousands of security cameras across urban and rural areas — more than 28,500 in total by 2016. Even the smallest villages had at least six security cameras installed, according to state media. Those cameras weren’t just (...)

The system also identifies information such as age and sex Chinese tech giants Huawei and Megvii have allegedly tested software that could identify Uighurs, an ethnic minority in China, according to a new report from the Washington Post and video surveillance trade publication IPVM. The system being tested tried to identify whether a person was Uighur but also information such as their age and sex. If the system detected a Uighur person, it could notify government authorities with a (...)

This week’s moves from Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM mark a major milestone for researchers and civil rights advocates in a long and ongoing fight over face recognition in law enforcement. In the summer of 2018, nearly 70 civil rights and research organizations wrote a letter to Jeff Bezos demanding that Amazon stop providing face recognition technology to governments. As part of an increased focus on the role that tech companies were playing in enabling the US government’s tracking and (...)

Many Facial-Recognition Systems Are Biased, Says U.S. Study
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/19/technology/facial-recognition-bias.html?campaign_id=158&emc=edit_ot_20200609&instance_

Algorithms falsely identified African-American and Asian faces 10 to 100 times more than Caucasian faces, researchers for the National Institute of Standards and Technology found. The majority of commercial facial-recognition systems exhibit bias, according to a study from a federal agency released on Thursday, underscoring questions about a technology increasingly used by police departments and federal agencies to identify suspected criminals. The systems falsely identified (...)

Coronoptiques (2/4) : dépister la population, rendre visible le virus | LINC
▻https://linc.cnil.fr/fr/coronoptiques-24-depister-la-population-rendre-visible-le-virus

Identifier les porteurs du virus et comptabiliser les malades sont les premières opérations de surveillance sanitaire nécessaires pour gérer une épidémie. La production de ces données est le fruit d’une longue et fragile chaîne dans laquelle interviennent de nombreux acteurs. « Le virus nous a pris par surprise, en avançant masqué, en se transmettant par des malades légers ou asymptomatiques ». Cette déclaration du médecin infectiologue espagnol José Antonio Perez Molina illustre la nécessité de parvenir (...)

Avec l’épidémie de coronavirus qui met le pouvoir communiste à rude épreuve, le big data a le vent en poupe en Chine. L’usage des données et de l’intelligence artificielle pour surveiller la population chinoise n’est évidemment pas une nouveauté dans l’Empire du Milieu, mais le phénomène s’est considérablement accéléré avec la crise sanitaire de ce début d’année. En effet, afin d’endiguer l’épidémie du nouveau coronavirus Covid-19, les autorités chinoises ont lancé de nouvelles campagnes de collecte de données (...)
