The power of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked-about topics in the business world today.

With its ability to transform entire industries and create new opportunities, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate and succeed in Africa and on the global stage.

The AI boom is being fueled by the growing need for new technologies to process and deduce patterns with speed. While automation and AI are altering many facets of the industry, some business owners are concerned about the effects on their company’s future.

On 3 February 2023, the Wales cross-party group on digital rights and democracy – for which Open Rights Group serves as the secretariat – held its fourth session on surveillance and facial recognition technology in the UK.

Chaired by Sarah Murphy MS, the session heard powerful accounts from campaigner Ed Bridges, who launched the groundbreaking challenge Ed Bridges vs South Wales Police, Madeleine Stone from Big Brother Watch and researcher Stephanie Hare.

While justice and policing are not devolved in Wales, Murphy stressed how important it was to have the discussion when the decisions on rights are being made elsewhere – Westminster and the Home Office. And as the speakers iterated, technology is having a resounding effect on the right to privacy, discrimination, bias and children’s rights.

On Thursday the attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, will release a review conducted by his department into modernisation of the Privacy Act which calls to expand its remit to small businesses and add new safeguards for use of data by political parties.

Concludes that the EU-US Data Privacy Framework fails to create actual equivalence in the level of protection; calls on the Commission to continue negotiations with its US counterparts with the aim of creating a mechanism that would ensure such equivalence and which would provide the adequate level of protection required by Union data protection law and the Charter as interpreted by the CJEU; urges the Commission not to adopt the adequacy finding;

The European Union is famous for its ambivalent relationship with privacy — on the one hand, it was the first place in the world to apply strict data protection regulations. On the other, its central bank digital currency (CBDC) project lacks the anonymity standards of private cryptocurrencies.

Nevertheless, last week the EU lawmakers made a vital step to embrace privacy in the space of citizens’ digital identities. On Feb. 9, the Industry, Research and Energy Committee included the standard of zero-knowledge proofs in its amendments to the European digital identity framework (eID). The latest update was voted in by 55 votes to 8 in the Committee — the draft will now proceed to the Trilogue phase of negotiations.

During the end of year holidays, and without fanfare, the government prepared the introduction of a new legislation regarding the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic games. As expected, this draft law pave the way for the generalization of algorithmic video surveillance. While using the fallacious argument of time limited experiment, such technologies are already illegally used in many cities in the country with total impunity. Using the forthcoming sport competitions as justification, the government and many representatives call themselves advocates of the French industry and use this position to allow thos companies to durably expand on the video surveillance market.

#AI Act: The co-rapporteurs' ambition to reach an agreement on crucial parts at yesterday's shadow meeting was frustrated, with lawmakers still far from a common position on AI definition, prohibited practices and high-risk classification. A new timeline is now in order.
