Connecticut Journal of International Law (not EFF) will host this event. EFF's Matthew Guariglia will be speaking.
AI advancements have radically changed the scope and abilities of facial recognition technologies, which are now being used all over the world by law enforcement ranging from local police forces to national intelligence agencies.
By bringing together experts in the field, our goal is to foster thoughtful discussion about the ethical, social, and legal implications of AI-powered facial recognition technology in law enforcement, with particular focus on technologies such as ClearviewAI.
Join us to find out who owns your face and what happens when these technologies get it wrong.

About New York University Institute for Public Knowledge:
Founded in 1985, the Connecticut Journal of International Law (CJIL) publishes articles covering a range of topics in international and comparative law, including analysis of the extraterritorial effects of domestic law and policy. Past publications have examined, amongst other things, developments and issues in intellectual property, corporate, human rights, trade, national defense, and environmental law. The Journal publishes 2-3 issues per year.
CJIL leads discussion and debate on current legal issues through our annual Symposium. Symposiums bring together experts and legal scholars to examine developments and problems in law and society through an international and comparative lens. Symposiums offer attendees a chance to engage with leading scholars in the field as well as law students, local and international lawyers, and interested members of the public. These events usually take place in early spring and are free to attend.
This event is organized not by EFF, but by Connecticut Journal of International Law.
