NEW: The UK plans to use AI face scans to determine the age of asylum seekers at the border from next year. However, a leaked report shows the government has known the tech isn’t accurate for more than a year. In some cases, the technology could predict a 13.5-year-old to be an adult https://www.wired.com/story/facial-age-estimate-uk-asylum-seekers/ #tech #data #artificialintelligence

The UK Information Commissioner's Office has failed for too long. Enforcement action has fallen away under its 'public sector approach', where the regulator has heavily relied on non-enforceable reprimands. Without bringing law-breakers to account, our data rights are weakened.

A slap on the wrist isn't a deterrent. The ICO even refused to investigate the Ministry of Defence for the most serious data breach in UK history. This was the final straw, leading to ORG calling for an inquiry with over 70 groups and experts.

Data is your digital DNA 🧬 It reveals who you are. That’s why companies, government bodies and criminals want access to it. Whether it’s to stop profiteering, surveillance or fraud, data protection is the answer. But the UK data regulator isn't enforcing the law.

New #zine alert ‼️ Inspired by @stefan@stefanbohacek.online’s zine about the #Fediverse. I’ve noticed that so many #artists only use #Instagram despite worries about how their #data and #artwork might be used without their consent. Maybe this can convince someone to try the Fediverse. #datasovereignty #MastoArt #socialmedia

Your face is becoming your password, and you can’t change your face. Facial recognition systems turn your identity into a permanent digital key. If that data is breached, it’s not just another hack — it’s a lifelong vulnerability that can track you, expose you and be nearly impossible to undo. https://theconversation.com/facial-recognition-data-is-a-key-to-your-identity-if-stolen-you-cant-just-change-the-locks-278289 #tech #security #data https://theconversation.com/facial-recognition-data-is-a-key-to-your-identity-if-stolen-you-cant-just-change-the-locks-278289

@gedeonm@mastodon.social It was unfortunately what would be termed today as "AI slop". If I remember correctly, most of #Data's attempts at art turned out to be some form of regurgitation, sometimes exceedingly boring. He even noticed it in #Inheritance in his mom's playing of the violin, as evidence she was artificial. The most damning version is #InTheory when he basically turns into a LLM chatbot to try to have a girlfriend. #AllStarTrek #StarTrek

Watching ministers talk about NHS data strategy is like watching someone confidently rewire a house with no understanding of electricity. The language sounds polished, the reassurances are endless, but the substance just isn’t there. Choosing a company like Palantir isn’t a neutral technical decision. It’s a long-term structural commitment with real implications for control, access, and public trust. Yet it’s presented as a simple procurement exercise. And when political careers move on, as they always do, there’s rarely any reckoning for decisions that reshape public infrastructure for decades. That asymmetry should concern everyone. #technology #surveillance #nhs #politics #ice #ethics #society #data Palantir: NHS pilot’s “success” is questioned as second figure at major trust is linked to the tech giant | The BMJ https://www.bmj.com/content/393/bmj.s680

Dangerous apps - In the web of data brokers What many smartphone users know: the apps on their phones collect detailed location data. What few people know: the information often ends up with a global network of data brokers and advertising companies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y07j3hXAI-g #privacy #tracking #data
