Tech Life

Available for over a year

There are words of warning about facial recognition, biometrics and artificial intelligence - technologies increasingly being adopted by law enforcement worldwide. Also on Tech Life this week, we learn about an African company offering a local alternative to the big electric vehicle manufacturers. Basketball gets into tech. And why we need tech to identify and map where our rubbish goes. Presenter: Shiona McCallum Producer: Tom Quinn (Photo: An illustration of facial recognition on the face of a woman.
