UK Police to Expand Facial Recognition Technology Using Corsight AI Linked to Israel's Gaza Operations
DEFENSE
The UK plans to expand its facial recognition technology using software from Israeli firm Corsight AI, which has been employed in Gaza, increasing the number of live recognition vans from 10 to over 50 at a cost of £20 million. This initiative, aimed at identifying individuals on police watchlists, has raised significant civil liberties concerns and faced criticism from organizations like Amnesty International regarding its implications for human rights and its association with Israel's military operations.
