The security camera commissioner has said he is concerned about quantity of false positives

“Facial recognition software used by the UK’s biggest police force has returned false positives in more than 98 per cent of alerts generated, The Independent can reveal, with the country’s biometrics regulator calling it “not yet fit for use”. The Metropolitan Police’s system has produced 104 alerts of which only two were later confirmed to be positive matches, a freedom of information request showed. In its response the force said it did not consider the inaccurate matches “false positives” because alerts were checked a second time after they occurred”.

«Founded in 2004 by Peter Thiel and some fellow PayPal alumni, Palantir cut its teeth working for the Pentagon and the CIA in Afghanistan and Iraq. The company’s engineers and products don’t do any spying themselves; they’re more like a spy’s brain, collecting and analyzing information that’s fed in from the hands, eyes, nose, and ears. The software combs through disparate data sources—financial documents, airline reservations, cellphone records, social media postings—and searches for connections that human analysts might miss. It then presents the linkages in colorful, easy-to-interpret graphics that look like spider webs. U.S. spies and special forces loved it immediately; they deployed Palantir to synthesize and sort the blizzard of battlefield intelligence».

«En France, Huawei a su trouver des interlocuteurs de choix, comme Orange, qui a adopté les solutions de l’entreprise au mépris des risques. Alors qu’il devait construire un cloud souverain, l’entreprise française a décidé en mars de choisir les serveurs et les logiciels de Huawei pour son cloud professionnel.

«Pour Huawei, cet accord devait être l’aboutissement d’un long processus. Depuis plusieurs années, le groupe tentait de convaincre les opérateurs mobiles américains, réfutant avec véhémence les accusations formulées en 2012 par le Congrès. Après un an d’enquête, les parlementaires avaient conclu que Huawei et ZTE représentaient une menace pour la sécurité des Etats-Unis, en raison de multiples tentatives de voler des secrets industriels et de leurs liens étroits avec Pékin».

«The collaboration between the intelligence community and big, commercial science and tech companies has been wildly successful. When national security agencies need to identify and track people and groups, they know where to turn – and do so frequently. That was the goal in the beginning. It has succeeded perhaps more than anyone could have imagined at the time».
