Vaccine passports, explained

Good morning! Today: our guide to vaccine passports, the NYPD has been caught lying about its use of a controversial facial recognition tool, and Facebook's advertising algorithms are still excluding women from seeing jobs. I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Got your covid shot? You might have to prove it.
 

What’s happening: As covid vaccines roll out in some countries, the next question has become: How do people prove they’ve been inoculated? For months, the conversation about “vaccine passports” has been theoretical, but over the last few weeks, efforts have become more concrete. New York launched the first state-level system in the US last week. And on April 5, the UK said it would conduct a pilot as part of its gradual easing of lockdown restrictions.

What’s available: Israel’s version is the furthest along—its app-based “green pass” launched in February—but software companies are jockeying to become the go-to solution. Some are beginning to join up to agree common standards, for instance IBM, which provides that technology that underpins New York’s Excelsior Pass. However, privacy and security concerns abound. 

What’s next: With so many questions still to be answered, the stakes for getting it right remain high. The Biden administration has said it will not issue a nationwide mandate for a vaccine passport app. In the short run, they might become a sort of nudge for the hesitant, encouraging them to get their shots in order to open doors that would otherwise remain (literally) closed. Their future beyond that is murky. Read the full story.

The NYPD used a controversial facial recognition tool. Here’s what you need to know. 

The news: On April 6, Buzzfeed News revealed that over 1,800 entities—including state and local police—have been using Clearview AI, a controversial facial recognition tool powered by photos scraped from the web. Many of those agencies claimed they had only trialed the technology, and had no formal contract. But the day before, the definition of a “trial” with Clearview was detailed in leaked emails between the New York Police Department and Clearview. They reveal a friendly two-year relationship between the department and the tech company during which time NYPD tested the technology many times, and used facial recognition on live investigations. 

Misleading: The NYPD has previously downplayed its relationship with Clearview AI, but the emails show it was well-developed, with a large number of police officers conducting a high volume of searches with the app, and using them in real investigations. The NYPD has run over 5,100 searches with Clearview AI.

Why it matters: This is particularly problematic because the use of Clearview AI seems to have circumvented the NYPD’s policies that limit its use of facial recognition systems. The concerns these emails raise are not just theoretical: they could allow the police to be challenged in court, and even have cases overturned. Read the full story.

Facebook’s ad algorithms are still excluding women from seeing jobs

The news: Facebook is still excluding women from seeing certain job opportunities, according to the latest audit of its ad service, conducted by independent researchers at the University of Southern California. Facebook’s ad-delivery system shows different job ads to women and men even though the jobs require the same qualifications. This is considered sex-based discrimination under US equal employment opportunity law.

The specifics: The researchers registered as an advertiser on Facebook and bought pairs of ads for jobs with identical qualifications. They advertised for two delivery driver jobs: one for Domino’s and one for Instacart. There are currently more men than women who drive for Domino’s, and vice versa for Instacart. The Domino’s ad was shown to more men than women, and the Instacart ad was shown to more women than men. The researchers found the same pattern with ads for two other pairs of jobs.

A disturbing pattern: The findings suggest that Facebook’s algorithms are somehow picking up on the current demographic distribution of these jobs. Read the full story.

We can still have nice things

  + There's still hope for you yet… Japan's oldest fitness trainer is 90, and she didn't start working out until she was 65.

If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

Contributions Welcome

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:

I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com
I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry
If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
