kt rama rao: Gaining citizens’ confidence is a big challenge: KT Rama Rao on artificial intelligence | Hyderabad News
HYDERABAD: Telangana industries and IT minister KT Rama Rao said gaining citizens confidences is crucial and a big challenge while using technologies like facial recognition coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), is for us to be able to gain citizens’ confidence that the government is unbiased in their use of data and citizens are not surveilled unless they have been notified.
“Every single step that the government will take to be able to use facial recognition needs to be shared with the public first before it is being used by the government organizations. This needs to be formally bestowed upon them following the rules of democracy,” he said.
Participating in a panel discussion on ‘AI on the Street: Managing Trust in the public square’ at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the minister said gaining public confidence is very important.
We are well-versed in AI, ML, Blockchain, Data Sciences and the risks that come with the use of the same and the data being used must be fully secured and the security must be verified, he said.
“The government understands the advantages that facial recognition provides in regulation and policing. The confidence that the public has in this system needs to be bolstered by optional systems that can expose them to the method and only then scale up,” KTR said.
The minister said that the only way to be able to achieve this would be to first clearly identify the regulatory powers that each of the government organizations would require. “These powers must be given to them in a parliamentary and a fully transparent method,” KTR said.
He admitted that facial recognition had reduced the dependency on physical resources and time taken to find criminals and missing people. With the right regulatory outreach, we can make it far easier for police and also support the citizens with their needs,” he said.
