Description

Facial recognition, AI, and data analysis are powerful tools that are being used by ICE to target both immigrants and protestors. Join UMass faculty Francine Berman and Laura Haas for an exploration of how these technologies are enabling ICE and how we might contain them. The session will start with a short presentation on the technology, followed by discussion and Q&A. Sponsored by Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences and the Public Interest Technology Initiative at UMass, Talking Tech aims to demystify the technology that drives our world.
