Although the research and development of these systems have made huge strides in the last decades\, and computer scientists are following and supporting this evolution\, it has been only a few years sin ce legal scholars have been investigating the implications on fundamental rights. The enactment of new data protection regulations and the discussio n of new proposals (esp. the AI Act) have turned the debate on its head\, putting FRT in the spotlight. However\, there are still aspects that have been little explored but will be crucial in the coming years for the democ ratic\, social\, technical\, ethical\, and legal acceptance of these techn ologies.\nThe conference aims to shed light on these unexplored aspects\, which impinge on systematic legalissues concerning the regulation and the  protection of rights and freedoms. To this end\, the presentedpapers will  deal with the different legal approaches on FRT that are arising at the gl obal level. Related tothis\, specific attention will also be put to analys e how the distinction between the use of – andconsequently the rules on –  FRT by private and public entities is getting increasingly evanescent\, as some of the most recent cases show. Other papers will dwell on some of the  most challenging and controversial deployment of FRT\, for specific purpo ses\, such as emotion recognition\; for advancedcontexts\, such as smart c ities. Finally\, the last works will focus on legal issues stemming from t he most recent proposals at EU level\, namely liability and cybersecurity. \nThe conference welcomes the participation of selected scholars of intern ational prominence who have already been working on FRT\, and therefore ha ve the background to carry forward the investigation on these topics. This initiative is part of larger funded research projects.\n\n09:00 - 09:30\n \nWelcome Address\nGinevra Cerrina Feroni I Vice-president in the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali\nNatalia Menéndez Gonzalez I European University Institute\nGiuseppe Mobilio I University of Florence\n\n09:30 - 11:00\n\nRoundtable: Next Democratic Frontiers for Facial Recognition Te chnology\nProfessor Theodore Christakis I Chair on the Legal and Regulator y Implications of Artificial Intelligence with the Multidisciplinary Insti tute on AI\, Director of the Centre for International Security and Europea n Studies\, and Co-Director of the Grenoble Alpes Data Institute\nProfesso r Els Kindt I Director of the Biometric Law Lab in KU Leuven\nMassimo Tist arelli I Director of the Computer Vision Laboratory\, University of Sassar i\nModerator: Andrea Simoncini I Professor of Constitutional Law in the De partment of Juridical Sciences of the University of Florence\n11:00 - 11:3 0 COFFEE BREAK \n\n11:30 - 13:00 \n\nFirst Workshop: Values and Principles \nFacial Recognition in Public Spaces and the Principle of Necessity\; Cat herine Jasserand-Breeman I KU Lueven\nTechnical solutions for a proportion al use of Facial Recognition Technology\; Natalia Menéndez Gonzalez I Euro pean University Institute\nUnveiling the Legal Facade: Examining the Impli cations of Facial Recognition Technology on Data Protection and Privacy in Sub-Saharan Africa\; Oarabile Mudongo I Human Sciences Research Council\n The Brussels effect on Face Recognition: are we at the endpoint? Federica Paolucci I Bocconi University\nThe Precautionary Principle For the Use of Facial Recognition Technology in Esports\; Tsubasa Shinohara I Swiss Espor ts Federation\nModerator: Giuseppe Mobilio I University of Florence\n\n13: 00 - 13:20 \n\nDiscussion\nNaama Ben-Zvi I Director of Supervision & Compl iance National Biometric Projects in the Israel National Cyber Directorate \n13:30 - 14:30 LUNCH\n\n14:30 - 16:00 \n\nSecond Workshop: Democratic Cha llenges for Facial Recognition Technology\nConceptualizing AI Liability in Facial Recognition Technologies: A quest for the “Smart” EU Borders\; Abd ullah Elbi I KU Leuven\nFacial Recognition Technologies and Cybersecurity in the EU: Regulatory Implications of Biometric Data Processing\; Theodoro s Karathanasis I Chair on the Legal and Regulatory Implications of Artific ial Intelligence\nFrom identity to emotional dominance? “Early warnings” o n emotion recognition uses in internal security actions\; Paolo Francesco Levantino I Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies\nFacial recognition techn ologies: threats or opportunities for democracy? Giuseppe Mobilio I Univer sity of Florence\nFacial recognition\, public order\, and crime prevention : The legitimacy of police uses in mass gatherings\; Isadora Neroni Rezend e I University of Bologna\nModerator: Natalia Menéndez Gonzalez I European University Institute\n\n16:00 - 16:20 Discussion\n\n16:20 - 16:40 COFFE B REAK\n\n16:40 - 17:15\n\nConclusions \nAmnon Reichman I Professor of Law i n University of Haifa\, Director of the Haifa Center for Cyber\, Law and P olicy\nFinal Remarks\nNatalia Menéndez Gonzalez I European University Inst itute\nGiuseppe Mobilio I University of Florence\nORGANISERS\nDipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche I University of Florence\nSchool of Transnational G overnance I European University Institute\nThe Centre for Cyber Law & Poli cy (CCLP)\nWITHIN THE PROJECTS\nSelf-Regulation and Co Regulation for Emer ging Technologies (SECORETECH) Constitutional Law of Technology (COLTECH)  \nThe Digital Constitutionalist (DIGICON)\nIn Presence: Villa Ruspoli\, Pi azza Indipendenza n. 9\, 50129\, Florence\, Italy & Online\nRegistrations:  at this link\nFor information and online attendance: frtflorence2023(AT)g mail.com https://takethedate.it/tutti-gli-eventi/Eventi/38756-next-democra tic-frontiers-for-facial-recognition-technology.html DTSTART:20230929T070000Z DTEND:20230929T160000Z LOCATION:ibrido (#) SUMMARY:Next Democratic Frontiers For Facial Recognition Technology URL:https://takethedate.it/tutti-gli-eventi/Eventi/38756-next-democratic-fr ontiers-for-facial-recognition-technology.html END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
