Biden’s AI Surveillance Blueprint

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Friend, This week, the White House Office of Science & Technology (OSTP) unveiled its “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights,” trying to balance AI and democratic values. But if we build on this blueprint, we’ll only see police use more forms of AI to rob human beings of our rights. From facial recognition to predictive policing, AI surveillance is incompatible with democracy. We need a ban on these broken, biased technologies—not a “blueprint” for normalizing their abuse. OSTP does take aim at some of the worst AI offenders in hiring, housing, education, and finance. But any AI plan that ignores the threat of AI policing is creating a structure that’s bound to collapse. Efforts like the “AI Bill of Rights” show us just how many people are pushing every day to make technologies like facial recognition a permanent fixture of American policing. But we can do better than simply pushing back around the margins. Here in New York, we have a crucial moment to ban facial recognition once and for all. Join the thousands who have already spoken out by telling state leaders that you have a right to be free of facial recognition completely.
