UK Plans AI Experiment on Children Seeking Asylum | Human Rights Watch
"The United Kingdom’s announcement on July 22 that it would use AI face-scanning technology to evaluate whether an asylum seeker is under age 18 threatens to harm children seeking refuge. The asylum minister, Angela Eagle, said that the decision was because this experimental technology is likely to be the cheapest option.
[...]
AI face scans were never designed for children seeking asylum, and risk producing disastrous, life-changing errors. Algorithms identify patterns in the distance between nostrils and the texture of skin; they cannot account for children who have aged prematurely from trauma and violence. They cannot grasp how malnutrition, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and exposure to salt water during a dangerous sea crossing might profoundly alter a child’s face.
These AI systems’ inability to explain or reproduce results further erodes a child’s right to redress and remedy following wrongful assessment, while creating new privacy and non-discrimination risks.
The UK government has repeatedly and illegally subjected children seeking asylum to abusive conditions by wrongly classifying them as adults."

(Given that the channel I'm forwarding from looks like it *could* be suss, reminder that I don't super vet my forwards, just the info they contain)
While I have many issues with a place as flawed with Telegram, it's nice that I have a space where I only engage with (what seems at least, you never know these days) user-generated content
