Decide yourself if AI Regulator is required?
Decide yourself if AI Regulator in India is required or not in the light of two following glaring examples of irreparable to privacy rights.
(i) US Court of Appeal judgment dated 15.6.2023 — Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act protects privacy rights biometric identifiers and biometric information.
Two complaints were filed against the defendants-insured – Illinosis based information technology services firm for violation of said Act. The allegations were that Clearview AI firm specializing in facial recognition software had extracted three billion photographs of individuals from online social media and converted them into biometric facial recognition, created app for facial recognition with the aid of photograph to identify individua and also to find out appearance in social media. The defendant IT firm had purchased the app and re-sold to Chicago Police Department.
(II) Google is facing a law suit that its private policies are misleading and violate user’s private rights since data is used to train its AI models without any consent. The policy made headlines since it permitted Google to scrape all publicly available data on the internet. Internet does not belong to Google.
