The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
The Rio de Janeiro government will use facial recognition AI for the first time during Carnival 2024 to monitor crowds and identify fugitives, with real-time image transmission to a central command center. Over 12,000 police will be deployed, raising concerns about potential privacy violations and wrongful identification.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The use of facial recognition technology constitutes the deployment of an AI system for law enforcement monitoring. However, the article does not report any realized harm or incidents resulting from this use, such as privacy violations, wrongful identification, or other negative consequences. It mainly describes the planned operational use of AI for public safety and security during the carnival. Therefore, this is a case of potential future risk or concern related to AI use, but no harm or incident has yet occurred or been reported. Hence, it qualifies as an AI Hazard, as the deployment of facial recognition AI could plausibly lead to harms such as privacy violations or wrongful arrests, but no such harm is described as having happened yet.[AI generated]
