Sweden’s cashless society dream isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
▻https://www.wired.co.uk/article/sweden-cashless-society

Just one per cent of Sweden’s GDP circulates as cash. As debates over the need for cash rage along lines of age, wealth and location, the country is looking to create a digital currency In Sweden’s collective memory, the 2009 Västberga helicopter robbery was a national assault ; an audacious heist better suited to the big screen than a grey industrial district in south-west Stockholm. It was just after 5am when a stolen helicopter landed on the roof of a fully-stocked cash depot belonging to (...)

Why Coronavirus Contact-Tracing Apps Aren’t Ending the Pandemic
▻https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-30/why-coronavirus-contact-tracing-apps-aren-t-ending-the-pandemic

High hopes that technology would help supplement the traditional, labor-intensive approach to contact tracing have been dashed. As Covid-19 spread, sending almost every country into some form of lockdown, governments began to wonder how best to keep track of the deadly virus. Contact-tracing apps seemed a sensible solution. But everywhere you look, tech has failed to deliver. In France, less than 3% of the population has downloaded StopCovid. The U.K. missed an initial rollout deadline (...)

Facial recognition on trial : emotion and gender “detection” under scrutiny in a court case in Brazil
▻https://www.accessnow.org/facial-recognition-on-trial-emotion-and-gender-detection-under-scrutiny-i

We are seeing AI-powered facial recognition systems deployed in increasingly sensitive environments around the world, and often without people’s knowledge or consent. It is critical to ensure these systems do not facilitate human rights violations, in particular of people and communities who are already at risk. When they are put in place on the basis of pseudoscientific claims that enable discriminatory inferences, it hurts human rights and destroys public trust. The Brazilian Institute of (...)

The UK spent millions on a Covid-19 tracking app and then abandoned it
▻https://www.codastory.com/authoritarian-tech/uk-coronavirus-app-withdrawn

Last month, Amber Beard tested out and wrote about a new Covid-19 tracking app that the UK government was trialing on the Isle of Wight. Beard explained how the app, named NHS Covid-19, was initially met with enthusiasm by residents and that a reported 65% downloaded it. However, NHS Covid-19 — which used Bluetooth technology to collect data from phones — raised concerns among privacy advocates and experts, who said it did not allow users enough control over how their data was shared and (...)

Why tech didn’t save us from covid-19
▻https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/06/17/1003312/why-tech-didnt-save-us-from-covid-19

America’s paralysis reveals a deep and fundamental flaw in how the nation thinks about innovation. Technology has failed the US and much of the rest of the world in its most important role : keeping us alive and healthy. As I write this, more than 380,000 are dead, the global economy is in ruins, and the covid-19 pandemic is still raging. In an age of artificial intelligence, genomic medicine, and self-driving cars, our most effective response to the outbreak has been mass quarantines, a (...)

At the outbreak of the COVID-19 global pandemic, a number of countries in the MENA region turned to technology to help track and prevent the spread of the virus, using apps, drones, and even robots to monitor the movement of citizens under quarantine. Now, as countries are looking to slowly return to life and lift lockdown measures, more are jumping on the bandwagon, including developing their own contact-tracing apps, as seen most recently in Morocco and Tunisia.

Big Tech Zeros In on the Virus-Testing Market

As businesses grapple with how to safely reopen the workplace, companies like Fitbit and Verily, Google’s sister company, are rushing out new work force health-vetting and tracking tools. Verily Life Sciences, a sister company of Google, scrambled to introduce a free coronavirus-screening site for the public and set up testing locations in March after President Trump made an off-the-cuff announcement about the program.

But with Google and Apple controlling the majority of the world’s phones, these giants have been able to set the terms for contact-tracing (...)

Cash is gradually dying out. Will we ever have a digital alternative that offers the same mix of convenience and freedom ? Think about the last time you used cash. How much did you spend ? What did you buy, and from whom ? Was it a one-time thing, or was it something you buy regularly ? Was it legal ? If you’d rather keep all that to yourself, you’re in luck. The person in the store (or on the street corner) may remember your face, but as long as you didn’t reveal any identifying (...)
