Human Error - Who Owns Your Face?
When you use your face to unlock your phone, set your profile picture or create sick memes for your friends and fans, are you unwittingly normalising the most intrusive surveillance technology ever created? Just something fun to think about!
In this episode, comedian and computer scientist Olga Koch and Journalist Hussein Kesvani deep dive into Clearview AI, an ethically ambiguous piece of software that’s (literally) changing the face of policing by scraping all - and we mean *all* - your photos from the internet.
We speak to Matthias Marx, a security researcher from Germany who (sort of) successfully sued Clearview AI about what we can all to do try and protect our faces from the small town police departments who are now running Terminator-level dystopian technology systems.
Human Error is a Daddy’s SuperYacht production for BBC Sounds.
