Why the BSIA developed an Ethical and Legal Guide to automated facial recognition and what it covers. – The road map for the guide to become a British Standard. – The invitation to bring the guide as evidence to the APPG AI evidence session on national security and AI facial recognition software. – Alignment of BSIA with the national AI strategy and the AI standards hub. – BSIA recognised as an AI Think Tank in a leading AI industry report. – The increasing use of AI in the security process, the use of video surveillance cameras and AI for operational processes.
