Dear all,

I am happy to invite you to the first surveillance studies seminar of this
semester that takes place next week April 21 at 1PM Brussels Time, online. We
welcome Shivangi Narayan to discuss police-use of facial recognition
technology in India.

If you haven?t registered yet, you can do so here:

What to expect?

Delhi Police used Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) to arrest thousands of
men, aged 18-40 years, for inciting riots during the Delhi riots 2020. Many of
these men still languish in jail, two years later on the basis of flimsy
evidence generated by FRT which is assumed to be objective, neutral and free
of any bias humans could harbour when it comes to criminal justice systems.
They work without any accountability or oversight from the state; The use of
FRT in Delhi Police is based on a Delhi High Court interim order which
authorised its use by the police to only find missing children. Data
Protection Laws in India, still under consultation, provide complete access to
law enforcement agencies to all kind of data, in the name of national security
and safety.

While there are several instances where we have seen further marginalisation
when the technology does not work, or is erroneous in its judgement, this
seminar will discuss the specificities of how technology intersects with
power, and how even when it works, it pushes the marginalised further to the
fringes.

Hoping to welcome many of you next week!

Kind regards,

Bram Visser
