Final Workshop of the DATAFACE Project

Would you like to discover the latest regulatory developments concerning the regulation of facial recognition in public spaces in Europe? Are you curious about the discussions on the future AI Act, the state-of the art of facial recognition, and the United States' approach on the issue?

DATAFACE investigates the use of facial recognition in public spaces for surveillance purposes and the impact on the rights to privacy and data protection, based on a country trend and a technical analysis of the systems.

The workshop will give insights into the project's objectives and spark discussion on whether a legitimate and proportionate use of the technology can be found, in balance with individuals’ fundamental rights.

Join Catherine and several experts who will delve into specific aspects of her research, such as the notion of ‘public spaces’, the technological advancements in facial recognition, and the complexity of the regulatory landscapes on the issue.

This is the final workshop of Catherine's postdoctoral project DATAFACE – funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship program. Catherine is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for IT& IP law (CiTiP) at KU Leuven and part of the Biometric Law Lab established by Professor Els Kindt.
