HENLEY BUSINESS SCHOOL is set to premiere a film exploring the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on Wednesday, January 25.
Coinciding with Data Privacy Day three days later, academics from the University of Reading appear in Privacy Ltd alongside industry experts from Emteq Labs, Know Your Day and Privacy International.
The documentary shines a light on AI and facial recognition technology (FRT) within a work setting, which range from productivity monitoring software in offices to image capture technology in supermarkets.
The film delves into the practical and ethical implications of such innovation and its impact on people’s day to day lives.
Prof Keiichi Nakata, head of business informatics, systems and accounting at Henley Business School, said: “We are seeing AI and FRT technologies being used more and more in the workplace and everyday life. But the more we use this technology, there is more chance that negative consequences could be inadvertently introduced.
“The implications and the scale by which personal data can now be analysed and misused may not be fully understood yet. And if data has been collected regarding individuals, not only could this be invading a person’s privacy, but it could also turn out to be very harmful.”
The film will be shown at 6pm and will be followed by a panel discussion featuring more Henley academics, its presenter and Financial Times technology reporter Cristina Criddle and RUSU president Sheldon Allen.
Tickets are free and can be booked online.
