Mr. Chair, I could respond to that.
Along with my opening remarks, I also submitted the Toronto Police Services Board's recently approved policy on the use of AI. That also encompasses any use of facial recognition. Anything that uses facial recognition or other biometrics is considered high-risk technology and therefore will require considerable reviews in advance of adoption and deployment, and a follow-up over at least two years to examine any impact, including any unintended consequences.
You should have a copy of that with you. It details all the different aspects that are looked into, the concerns and the guiding principles in deciding whether or not a certain technology may or may not be approved. That includes issues of fairness and reliability and the legality of that use, as well as the requirement that there always be a human in the loop, and personal and organizational accountability for its use.
