下一个禁止面部识别的目标:纽约

The Next Target for a Facial Recognition Ban? New York

在奥克兰、旧金山和马萨诸塞州萨默维尔等城市,民权活动人士成功地推动禁止警察使用面部识别。现在,由国际特赦组织领导的一个联盟正把目光投向美国最大的城市纽约,作为全球暂停政府使用这项技术的行动的一部分。

CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS have successfully pushed for bans on police use of facial recognition in cities like Oakland, San Francisco, and Somerville, Massachusetts. Now, a coalition led by Amnesty International is setting its sights on the nation’s biggest city—New York—as part of a drive for a global moratorium on government use of the technology.

国际特赦的BantheScan运动得到了法律援助组织、纽约公民自由联盟和AI为人民服务组织等组织的支持。继纽约之后,该组织计划将目标锁定在新德里和蒙古的乌兰巴托。

Amnesty’s #BantheScan campaign is backed by Legal Aid, the New York Civil Liberties Union, and AI for the People, among other groups. After New York, the group plans to target New Delhi and Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia.

“纽约是美国最大的城市,”国际特赦组织硅谷倡议主任迈克尔·克莱曼说。“如果我们能让纽约禁止这项技术,那说明几乎任何地方都有可能禁止这项技术。”

“New York is the biggest city in the country,” says Michael Kleinman, director of Amnesty International’s Silicon Valley Initiative. “If we can get New York to ban this technology, that shows that it’s possible to ban it almost anywhere.”

长期以来,活动人士就警方使用面部识别的风险敲响了警钟。这项技术对深色皮肤的人来说不太准确,导致了新泽西州和密歇根州对黑人的错误逮捕。去年,BuzzFeed新闻报道纽约警察局使用从Clearview AI购买的软件进行了超过11000次面部识别搜索。

Activists have long sounded the alarm about the risks of police use of facial recognition. The technology is less accurate on dark-skinned people, contributing to the wrongful arrests of Black men in New Jersey and Michigan. Last year, BuzzFeed News reported the NYPD had run over 11,000 facial recognition searches using software purchased from Clearview AI.
