“- The AI Act prohibits specific biometric inference practices, not biometric categorization as such – Many forms of biometric categorization, such as categorization based on non-sensitive physical traits or for purposes that do not involve inferring the listed characteristics, do not fall within the prohibition.

- The objective and design of the system are central to determining whether the prohibition applies – The prohibition is not triggered only by the presence of biometric analysis, but by the intended inference of protected attributes from biometric data.

- The relationship between this prohibition and EU data protection law needs further clarification – Given that the AI Act itself clarifies that it does not affect the application of the GDPR, and some processing of biometric data that may result in biometric categorization can be lawful under Article 9(2) GDPR when following its strict conditions, further clarification is needed with regard to the intersection of the two laws.”

I just finished reading this. An interesting look into poor academic citation practices (leading to citogenesis https://xkcd.com/978/), historical accuracy, and biometrics.

Also, this is a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_citogenesis_incidents

People of color have warned for years that facial recognition systems misidentify them at higher rates. Now others are being caught up too.

Poorly designed, poorly governed systems eventually fail more broadly when institutions trust them too much.
