Reports indicate that AI-driven facial recognition was used without consent during 48 races in France, scanning up to 300,000 individuals, including minors. Companies like PhotoRunning replaced manual processes with automated recognition, leading to significant violations of privacy rights and data protection laws.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article describes the use of a facial recognition AI system (an AI system) in a way that breaches legal protections (GDPR), thus violating fundamental rights. This harm has already occurred as the recognition was used illegally, directly implicating the AI system's use in causing the rights violation. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Incident due to the breach of legal and fundamental rights caused by the AI system's use.[AI generated]
