Speaker
Description
This presentation critiques the role of mass screening thermal imaging systems (MSTIS) during the Covid-19 pandemic, questioning whether such systems were sold for the purpose of restoring consumer and staff confidence at business premises rather than truly limiting the spread of the virus.
While the strengths and weaknesses of artificial intelligence is widely documented, studies before have not understood health crises from the perspectives of traditional security paradigms, specifically exploring how both detection and deterrence play mutual roles in crises, whether health or security related. In the case of the MSTIS, exploitative marketing and mixed messaging from government organisations meant that companies sold thousands of units and, to this day, are able to carry on selling such systems.
The consequences of companies selling what have proved to be defective systems on the spread of the Covid-19 virus, is impossible to measure. The presentation explores how such problems can be avoided in future.
