Do you have any particular thoughts or concerns about the use of FRT in the Netherlands?
Hoe groot is de kans dat werknemers van een overheidsinstantie toch in het geheim de regels van de EU overtreden en toch FRT gebruiken wanneer dat niet mag? Hoe en door wie wordt dat gecontroleerd?
In the current political climate, it seems more as technology which would potentially aid in discriminatory practices or practices aimed at silencing political opposition.
Not necessarily in the Netherlands; I think we’re pretty well protected and our democracy is pretty well protected in a way that prohibits the government from using FRT for the (morally) wrong reasons.
Safe processing and storage of data. Whether citizens should have a right to know at which locations these cameras are in place. What the accuracy rate of the algorithms is (how effective is FRT at correctly locating and correctly identifying a suspect in a crime).
It could lead to discrimination on different matters that are under the power of the government
I think it’s a good development for the legal system because it allows for a more objective view of events. However, I’m concerned that these cameras will eventually be used to train AI to detect abnormal behavior at an early stage—like they already do at some airports to identify drug smugglers and terrorists. I'm not sure how I feel about that when it’s applied to everyday life. On the other hand, I’ve also been to China, where they already use these kinds of cameras for crowd control, and I was actually quite impressed by how effectively it was organized. It made me realize that, aside from safety, there can also be many other positive aspects to this kind of technology—like improving public order or efficiency in busy environments.
I think the use of FRT is a slippery slope to an authoritarian police state. 10 years ago we were baffled that the Chinese government used this technology on it's citizens and now we are accepting it ourselves. I am not worried about order and safety enough to agree with the use FRT to ensure it and I think we have been able to have a reasonably safe and orderly society without FRT, so I do not see the need to start using it now.
I would hope that it also records the abuse of police officers against peaceful protests
I am not concerned now because I have not heard of any cases where that has been a problem. So it seems under control by the authorities.
As I am reading up on the AI Act for different topics, I noticed that there is sometimes an incongruence with the risk in actuality and how the risk is assessed according to the legal framework. I worry that the data sets on which the FRT are trained contain biases which may consequently lead to more (legitimized) bias in law enforcement. Especially as a lot of the current protests revolve around palestine and the police have historically been biased against foreigners.
I should not be used to track people when the have not comités Any major crime
I feel that, within the subject of expressing yourself through assembly, FRT might feel intuitively wrong, but is a very logical next step in security given the technology we have access to today.
I have trust in the goverment to use it carefully and in accordance with the law
Not necessarily, I do believe that institutions, as wel as law enforcement, should use new developments with regards to AI etc. etc. for public safety and I don’t think you can make a distinction in the use of AI
misuse and privacy concerns. also can be used by totalitair regimes
For now I trust our government with its use, but it is hard to tell what a future government might do with it
Ik weet niet veel van het onderwerp af maar hoe het gebruik van FRT bedoeld is, zoals omschreven in deze survey klinkt voor mij als goede bedoelingen en veilig, maar als het misbruikt wordt zou mijn mening hierover kunnen veranderen. Over het algemeen vind ik de instelling goed en lijkt het een mooie manier om de veiligheid in Nederland te moderniseren.
I don't have any specific lack of faith or ethical or moral disagreements with the usage of FRT. I think that if regulated properly and those regulations are actually followed then I think that usage of FRT can be justified. That said, I have zero faith in the Dutch police to to use it in a way I deem morally correct.
Representative of the slide into fascism
Abuse of this, especially sinds critique on government is increasingly labelled as something criminal.
While I see the usefulness of it for things like tracking down a serial killer, I do not think the use of it is justified for control. Knowing how violent the police are at protests, I feel that the state would go out of its way to use FRT to crack down on the freedom of assembly and speech when the matter being protested does not align with the continued support of a colonial settler state that is genociding a local population (Israel).
I believe that the idea behind letting law enforcement use FRT during public assemblies and protests is to identify people causing public disruptions. While that idea sounds good, in practice the interpretation of public disruptions being left to law enforcers causes the problem, since they can target even peaceful protestors, which leads to a lower perception of safety.
using it to gain information on where people live, and then coming to people’s houses and arresting them or “talking to them”
I trust the government and law enforcement enough to not cross borders when it comes to analyzing and using FRT. If you don't do anything wrong and protest peacefully then youll be fine
I'm mostly concerned about the use of AI because of biases in the systems.
Yes, particularly with student protests. The use of these camera footages can be used to enforce government and law enforcement upon students who want to express themselves through the form of protest or any form of activism. This is especially concerning when there are no damages to personal or private property.
They should not be used for controlling dissent at all. they're use for retrospective identification of potential criminal actors is fine, as long as their is a human form of judgement present to prevent facial recognition biases
I specifically fear for the moment that AI is implemented to trace people (as Israel is currently doing already) because that is way harder to control and check, and the allocation of responsibility becomes harder, which means that it is more difficult to hold actors in law enforcement accountable for mistakes or discrimination
