This book focuses on facial recognition technology (FRT) and sheds light on previously unexplored aspects that involve systematic legal issues…
concerning its regulation, the protection of rights and freedoms, the preservation of democracy and the rule of law. FRT employs cutting-edge AI systems capable of processing biometric data for identification, verification and categorization purposes. Although there have been huge strides in the research and development of these systems in the last few decades and computer scientists are following and supporting this evolution, legal scholars have only been investigating the implications for fundamental rights for the past few years. The introduction of new regulations (especially the European Union AI Act) have turned the debate on its head, putting FRT in the spotlight. However, there are still certain aspects that have not yet been explored but will be crucial in the coming years for the democratic, social, technical, ethical, and legal acceptance of this technology. The contributions gathered here address various legal approaches to FRT that are emerging at the global level. In this regard, they particularly examine how the distinction between private and public entities&’ use of – and consequently also their respective rules on – FRT is becoming increasingly unclear, as some of the latest cases show. Other chapters highlight some of the most challenging and controversial aspects of deploying FRT for specific purposes, such as emotion recognition, and in highly complex contexts, such as smart cities. Furthermore, the papers focus on legal issues stemming from the most recent proposals at the EU level, namely those regarding AI and cybersecurity.

engaged in the humanities. Linking mathematical concepts and computational skills, the chapters in this book explore humanistic questions from diverse fields, such as art, history and literature.The book helps to advance computational and digital literacy by showing that each mathematical concept has a history, and each technique has a meaning. Rather than viewing mathematics and computer programming as purely instrumental, they are integrated into the process of achieving greater understanding of humanistic phenomena. Algorithms, data, statistics and networks are taught critically within the book, whilst the authors also make a concerted effort to expose the internal biases of these tools. They also demonstrate the applicability of quantification and computation for the promotion of diversification and inclusivity within the humanities. All exercises are designed as an opportunity to gain hands-on mathematical and computational experience, whilst critically exploring and interpreting humanistic phenomena.Computational Literacy for the Humanities shows readers how to engage with data in a way that is challenging, yet meaningful and empowering. It will be of interest to scholars and students working across the humanities and should be of particular interest to those working in digital humanities.
