I am not expert but there seems to be an overlap in the article between 'AI' and well ... just software, or signal processing:
- AI that collects “real time” biometric data in public places for the purposes of law enforcement.
- AI that creates — or expands — facial recognition databases by scraping images online or from security cameras.
- AI that uses biometrics to infer a person’s characteristics
- AI that collects “real time” biometric data in public places for the purposes of law enforcement.
All of the above can be achieved with just software, statistics, old ML techniques, i.e. 'non hype' AI kind of software.
I am not familiar with the detail of the EU AI pact but it seems like the article is simplifying important details.
I assume the ban is on the purpose/usage rather than whatever technology is used under the hood, right?
