The @ICRC is opening its first Delegation for #cyberspace to anticipate policy, legal, and tech questions arising from delivering humanitarian action in an increasingly connected and digital environment.
More about why, what, how, and where @ejiltalk 👇 https://t.co/PXVaEZAzjk
There is danger in using biometric data in humanitarian work. It is urgent to better fund technical research that can help mitigate risks, argues @ViGrNa of the @ICRC. https://t.co/ppL8Ffdiow
#DidYouKnow that iris scans are used in hospitals to diagnose patients?
That's great for diagnosis - less great if you just wanted to register people for assistance.

“ICRC World Wide Web Site opens on the internet”
Tim Berners-Lee published the first-ever website (https://t.co/kB3w375mWa) in 1991. Four years later #OnThisDay the @ICRC launched its own website – https://t.co/DZCuZh7DYJ.
And, well yes, there was a news release 👇
How can we apply modern security techniques to #Biometrics data in the humanitarian context, to protect people from 'function creep'?
Or can we?

We hear that the Digital Green Certificate (DGC) is good news as it will enable "safe free movement". Safe free movement is great news, the technical proposal not so much
A long thread coming 👇
New blog post from Ada Director, @carlykind_, unpacking how the EU's draft AI regulation proposes to regulate #biometrics, and exploring the regulation’s innovations, gaps and flaws.

@Ugentilini@HSlim_Oxford@ICRC@calpnetwork @thefatoublog Can't quite remember last time I had to provide my id to buy bread with my spare change. Though it would be the case had I used my credit card isn't it? And not only to the baker.
