Maloniai kviečiame į tarptautinę konferenciją „Facial Recognition in the Modern State“ (liet. „Veidų atpažinimas šiuolaikinėje valstybėje“), kurioje dalyvaus daug garsių šios srities specialistų iš viso pasaulio. Renginys vyks 2022 m. rugsėjo 15 d. nuotoliniu būdu nuo 10 val.
Konferencijoje bus diskutuojama apie valdžios institucijų vykdomą veidų atpažinimo technologijų taikymą bei teisinį reguliavimą Europos, Amerikos, Azijos ir Ramiojo vandenyno bei Afrikos šalyse. Ar veidų atpažinimo technologijos yra teisėta priemonė visuomenės saugumui ir viešajai tvarkai užtikrinti? O gal tai yra stebėjimas, pažeidžiantis pagrindines asmens teises ir teisinės valstybės principą? Konferencijoje bus nagrinėjama, ar ir kaip skiriasi atsakymai į šiuos klausimus skirtingose valstybėse ir žemynuose. Remdamiesi kultūriniais ir teisiniais skirtumais bei bendromis tendencijomis, pranešėjai aptars galimas valdžios institucijų vykdomo veidų atpažinimo technologijų naudojimo reguliavimo kryptis nacionaliniu, regioniniu ir tarptautiniu lygmenimis.

FACIAL RECOGNITION IN THE MODERN STATE
INTERNATIONAl CONFERENCE
15 September 2022
*Times in UTC+2 /CEST
Register hereFrom border control to policing and welfare, governments are using automated facial recognition technology (FRT) to collect taxes, prevent crime, police cities and control immigration. FRT involves processing of a person’s facial image, typically for verification, identification, categorisation or counting. Concerns around an increased use of live automated FRT in airports, train stations and city streets across the globe have led many NGOs, local municipalities and legislators in Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific to call for regulation or even outright bans on FRT use. However, regulatory solutions lag behind.
A facial image is a biometric that can be collected from a distance, and without the person’s knowledge or consent. Academics thus have largely focused on the privacy implications of FRT, often limited to a specific jurisdiction. However, FRT use raises concerns that go well beyond privacy. The increasing use of FRT in public spaces changes the balance of power between governments and their populations: it enables the state to locate and identify individuals in seconds without the significant human resources needed in traditional policing or migration. It can thus impact on political protests, undermine due process and equal protection.
This international conference and Cambridge Handbook on Facial Recognition in the Modern State (CUP, 2024) aims to provide a platform for socio-legal discussion around government use of FRT across domestic and regional jurisdictions in Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Africa. Is FRT a legitimate tool to ensure public safety and security? Or is it a surveillance infrastructure, undermining fundamental rights and the rule of law? The conference and Cambridge Handbook will explore whether and how the answers to these questions differ among liberal democracies, and how democracies compare to authoritarian regimes in six different continents. Building on cultural and legal differences and common trends, the presenters will discuss possible future directions in regulating governments’ use of FRT at national, regional and international levels.
