Surveillance Technology Today

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Surveillance technology has evolved dramatically in recent years, enabling surveillance to become more sophisticated and complex. With drones, facial recognition software, and other advanced tools, surveillance has become more challenging for the subjects to detect, making it a formidable force. However, these advancements have raised concerns about privacy violations, disproportionate levels of surveillance and harassment, and the potential for suppression of free speech in authoritarian regimes. To strike a balance between privacy and security, it is crucial for both those who use surveillance and those who are being monitored to understand the capabilities and limitations of surveillance systems.
