Research: the Number of Systems of Biometric Mass Surveillance Is Increasing in Germany
Scientific progress, in particular the latest achievements in digitization of public life and the careless use of artificial intelligence in practice, are of concern to Europeans, who do care about fundamental human rights and the rule of law.
According to researchers, given the strong connection between the business community and governments, automated face recognition has gradually evolved from a tool to address allegedly pressing issues of public interest to the broad market. Now this phenomenon is expanding to the monitoring of minor offenses and non-criminal acts.
In Europe and in the world in general, the so-called standards of good neighborly coexistence of people and moral and legal norms are beginning to be neglected. Increasingly, scientific achievements are beginning to be used in the interests of high-tech corporations, private companies, or the leadership of individual states that are interested in mass control of their own populations, ultimately retaining power in their hands and increasing their profits.
