纽约学校为学生安装人脸识别系统引起多方争议
教育部发言人Emily DeSantis周一说,纽约教育部员工计划与洛克波特市(Lockport City)学校会面,讨论本周正在测试的系统。同时,她说,该地区已经表示,在检查系统的其他组件时,不会使用面部识别软件。民主党国会议员Monica Wallace的一项法案将暂停纽约学校使用该技术一年,以便立法者有时间对其进行审查并起草法规。“Lockport City学区已经在学校实施了侵入性监测,几乎不考虑其学生隐私和公民权利,”教育顾问Stefanie Coyle说。据当地官员,该地区是全国第一个使用类似系统的学区。但是纽约公民自由联盟(ACLU)说该系统用于校园实属严重侵权。
Education Department spokeswoman Emily DeSantis said Monday that department employees plan to meet with Lockport City School officials about the system being tested this week. In the meantime, she said, the district has said it will not use facial recognition software while it checks other components of the system. A bill by Democrat Assembly Member Monica Wallace would create a one-year moratorium on the technology's use in New York schools to allow lawmakers time to review it and draft regulations. "Much to our dismay, school shootings continue to occur in our country," wrote Bradley who did not respond to email and telephone messages Monday. "The Lockport School District has barreled ahead with implementing invasive surveillance technology in its schools with little regard for student privacy and civil rights," education counsel Stefanie Coyle said. Officials said the district is the first in the country to adopt the Aegis system. But the New York Civil Liberties Union said it has no place in schools.
