Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

“ADFR's strongly opposed to this proposal. As a digital-first party, we monitor very closely policy debate on AI, with some of our members being first-class computer scientists. AI models need to follow a clear set of rules, with a human in the middle, always, and explicit limits: surveillance and facial recognition are a red line for us, as these tools might be the first step towards the establishment of an Orwellian dystopia. As Homeland Alliance's illegal arrest of our own David Braun showed, not even our democracy is immune from authoritarian impulses.”

No

“Our government drew a clear line when we banned AI surveillance. We did so because privacy and civil liberties are easier to lose than to get back. Once these systems are switched on, calls for wider use usually follow. We don't think the state should have that power in the first place.”

Competence And Freedom
Voted Nov. 30, 2019
No

“We consider the usage of AI for surveillance a blatant invasion of privacy that cannot be allowed under any circumstances.”

Yes

“Modern technology like AI should be used to strengthen public safety and uphold law and order. Regulated, targeted use of AI surveillance gives law enforcement effective tools to combat crime while ensuring its use remains subject to legal oversight and focused on genuine threats.”

Yes Changed vote

“We support this as banning a technology completely because of considering some of its cons and disregarding its various pros is not a right decision for a great nation. the AI technology should be regulated to ensure that the pros of the technology is used safely instead banning the total AI technology for surveillance. doing this would definitely reduces the crime rates with the safety of the people from facial recognition because of its regulation”
