HYDERABAD: Telangana industries and IT minister KT Rama Rao said gaining citizens confidences is crucial and a big challenge while using technologies like facial recognition coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), is for us to be able to gain citizens’ confidence that the government is unbiased in their use of data and citizens are not surveilled unless they have been notified.
“Every single step that the government will take to be able to use facial recognition needs to be shared with the public first before it is being used by the government organizations. This needs to be formally bestowed upon them following the rules of democracy,” he said.
