Target faces a class action lawsuit in Illinois for allegedly using AI-powered facial recognition and surveillance systems to collect and store customers' biometric data without consent, violating the state's Biometric Information Privacy Act and raising concerns over privacy rights and potential identity theft.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event explicitly involves the use of an AI system (facial recognition technology) for biometric data collection. The alleged harm is a violation of biometric privacy rights protected under Illinois law, which is a breach of obligations under applicable law intended to protect fundamental rights. The lawsuit claims that the AI system's use directly led to this harm by collecting and storing biometric data without consent. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to the direct involvement of AI in causing a legal rights violation.[AI generated]
