New Rules for Surveillance Software

Facial Recognition Software is a hot topic for policy makers.

The EU has new rules that allow for the sale of software, like facial recognition software, but adds a lot of transparency requirements.

What new rules will apply in the EU?

• require a license to sell technology with military applications
• due diligence on such sales to assess the possible human rights risks;
• require governments to publicly share details of the licenses they grant
