Do you have any evidence that all parties provided informed consent? i.e. The consent form detailed out what could happen in the (somewhat likely) event the data is breached and how the data may be used? What other parties have access to the information and how that information is stored? How the information is transmitted? And they understood it all, with the attached implications?
Considering the only words the person who oversees both high schools had to say on record was that the technology is "fairly safe", I am somewhat doubting that the parents had a fully formed view of what the potential downfalls of the program are if/when it is breached or misused, or even malfunctions.
I think when we are dealing with advanced tech such as facial recognition it is analogous to the informed consent issues doctors face. How can someone possibly obtain informed consent from non-experts over something that requires years of schooling to understand?
- mytailorisrich 7y agoThis is going over the top. It was just about using facial recognition in a school, not about having brain implants in children... Schools already have pictures and detailed personal details of all pupils. This new technology can have real benefits. For example it could be used to locate a pupil that does not show up in class when they should, or to trigger an alert if a pupil leaves school when not expected to or when someone unknown is detected. To me the law should protect but not prevent useful applications that people agree to, and I think that this specific case shows that, as they stand, the GDPR can be over-restrictive.
- ziddoap 7y agoAre you arguing that informed consent is over the top and restrictive? That's... Bold.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoPlease refrain from misrepresenting others' comments, and I hope there can be a mature discussion instead of this sort of attack.
- ziddoap 7y agoIf I misrepresented your comment, apologies. I thought since I put: "Do you have any evidence that all parties provided informed consent?" And you said "This is going over the top." That you were replying that it is over the top. I'd be happy if you could clarify what you meant.
