Trevor Paglen Interviewed in Document Journal

BCNM alum Trevor Paglen was recently interviewed by Document Journal on "CIA-funded facial recognition technology, images in the post-truth era, and why AI is its own form of politics."

From the interview description:

As Black Lives Matter protests continue across the United States, issues of surveillance, policing, and state power have been thrown into sharp relief, with facial recognition technology becoming a lightning rod issue among privacy advocates. Last week, Portland, Oregon passed landmark ordinances banning the use of facial recognition technology by the city and private entities—the first legislation of its kind within the United States. Trevor Paglen joins Document to discuss images in the post-truth era, police abolition, and the future of privacy in America.
