Sector focus: AI in security, opportunity or threat? Evolving impacts and risks.

mitigate high-risk AI impacts and risks and deploy facial recognition software safely

The evolving risks and impacts when using AI technology in security and beyond

Earlier this year, Anekanta®Consulting founder Pauline Norstrom was invited as a guest speaker at the spring Security Buyer Live 2023 event. Here we share her presentation with the kind permission of the international security publication Security Buyer. We look forward to seeing further content from her in the October 2023 event.

Delivering an insightful talk designed for an audience who may be exploring the potential of AI to improve their effectiveness specifically within the $50 billion (+) security and smart building/city market, Pauline touched on a number of topics applicable to a range of high-risk AI technologies. She explains the principles which underpin AI, the use cases, and the ethical and legal considerations which lead to prohibitions and additional measures for organisations using AI in the EU and which may be subject to the EU AI Act.

Anekanta® Consulting specialise in researching the highest risk, most difficult AI considerations affecting technology decisions, and sister brand Anekanta®AI provides impact and risk assessments which offer a position with regard to ethical and legal mitigations including the requirements of the EU AI Act.

  • Background to Anekanta®’s work on the ethical use of facial recognition technology
    Anekanta®AI have developed a number of independent, vendor agnostic ethical AI governance frameworks expertly designed to assess the safety of high-risk AI development and deployment and its impact on stakeholders. Here is the background to our work in this area.
  • Anekanta® recognised for ethical and responsible AI development and implementation
    We are proud to announce the release of a ground breaking new British Standard “Facial recognition technology – Ethical use and deployment in video surveillance-based systems – Code of practice (BS 9347:2024)” Anekanta® Privacy Impact Risk Assessment System™, de-risks FRT use cases anywhere in the world and recommends the new standard for UK mitigation purposes.
  • Examining the ‘cost-benefit’ of adopting Responsible AI within your business
    By adopting Responsible AI practice, businesses can unlock the transformative power of AI technology while minimizing risks and maintaining stakeholder trust. Anekanta® recommends that organisations start their AI policy and AI Management System Implementation (BS ISO/IEC 42001) alongside legal (EU AI Act) and regulatory considerations dependent on the regions where the business operates or uses AI decisions.
  • What does the new legal definition of AI systems mean in practice for commercial use cases?
    Organisations may not be certain whether their systems are AI due to the range of contrasting views from vendors and buyers. It is important that they recognise and categorise these systems as soon as possible. Developers, providers and user/deployers of AI systems which meet the EU AI Act definition criteria, and whose decisions are utilised within the EU, have to comply with the law.
  • Anekanta® Responsible AI frameworks featured by the OECD.AI Policy Observatory
    Anekanta® Responsible AI frameworks have been featured in the UK Government Resonsible Technology Adoption Unit (formerly CDEI) Portfolio of AI Assurance Techniques, and now we are announcing that we are published in the OECD.AI Catalogue of Tools and Metrics for Trustworthy AI. Find out more.
