Disclaimer: This page is by no means exhaustive and just meant to give some inspiration and a starting point for your own research.
This page will describe possible resources where to find information about deployments. Also make sure to read the pages about getting started, best practices, and how to create a deployment in the Wiki.
What is a deployment?[edit | ]
Deployments are the main entry we are concerned about. Deployment are all instances in which biometric surveillance technology is used. The deployments we are concerned about mainly are deployments in both public spaces such as train stations, and private spaces accessible by the public, such as malls.
Where to find information about deployments[edit | ]
News Articles[edit | ]
- A good starting point is to look for news articles that are concerned about biometric recognition/surveillance/identification. Additionally, it is also useful to search for terms like "Smart City" or "Smart Cameras" etc. because these types of projects often invovle biometric surveillance technologies.
- Investigative journalists often are the first ones to unveil biometric surveillance programmes, for exampe when a list of customers of Clearview AI was leaked.
- Additionally, regional publications sometimes have more detailled information about small deployments in minor cities.
- Of course it is important that the source is not a "Fake News" site.
