Summary

Despite its newness, artificial intelligence can recognize you like an old friend. With the rise of AI-based facial recognition services, the question arises: How do we balance the use of such a system with privacy? Jeff Boehm, the COO of Wicket, joins David Rothkopf to explore the critical ethical implications of facial recognition software, the need to accuracy and reliability, and how it is being integrated into everyday experiences. This material is distributed by TRG Advisory Services, LLC on behalf of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in the U.S..
