Episode notes

Is the price of safety the end of anonymity? UK retail is fighting back against rising crime with Facial Recognition technology like Facewatch. But this powerful tool comes with a massive ethical and legal question mark. In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I look at the undeniable success in tackling repeat offenders and boosting staff safety. But also, explore the serious risks of false positives, GDPR compliance, and the erosion of public privacy. It's not about choosing sides, it's about choosing standards. How do we govern biometric surveillance responsibly? Listen to this podcast to hear more thoughts on this topic.
