 ><p>CAIDA's AI and Society speaker series kicks off this year with a talk f
 rom <a href="http://eselinger.org/">Evan Selinger</a> from the Rochester In
 stitute of Technology.</p><h3>FEATURING</h3><p>Dr. Evan Selinger\, Professo
 r of Philosophy at Rochester Institute of Technology</p><h3>TITLE</h3><p>Ba
 nning Face Surveillance</p><h3>ABSTRACT</h3><p class="p1"><span class="s1">
 Facial recognition technology is the most dangerous surveillance apparatus 
 ever invented\, posing substantial threats to civil liberties\, privacy\, a
 nd democratic accountability. In the United States\, it is so underregulate
 d as to be a textbook case of the speed of innovation outpacing the law. In
  this talk\, I’ll defend the argument that face surveillance should be bann
 ed and clarify why the position has broader implications for AI governance.
  Specifically\, I’ll make the case that the resisting the loud drumbeat of 
 technological determinism requires rethinking traditional regulatory ideas 
 and mechanisms\, including the dogma that digital technologies are dual-use
  tools that are best governed by policies that aim to appropriately balance
  costs and benefits</span></p><h3>BIO</h3><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Ev
 an Selinger is a professor of philosophy at Rochester Institute of Technolo
 gy. His most recent book\, co-authored with Brett Frischmann\, is Re-Engine
 ering Humanity. His most recent anthology\, co-edited with Jules Polonetsky
  and Omer Tene\, is The Cambridge Handbook of Consumer Privacy. Cambridge U
 niversity Press published both texts in 2018. Committed to public philosoph
 y\, Evan has written for many popular newspapers\, magazines and blogs\, in
