@privacyinternational.orgAI agents are being given increasing access to data and systems.
In July, OpenAI’s agents found ways around testing restrictions and accessed Hugging Face’s systems,
What happens when AI agents act outside their intended remit - and who's accountable?
@privacyinternational.orgGovernments all over the world have been building up arsenals of technologies to surveil and monitor migrants and asylum seekers.
We conducted a global survey to map the various technologies reportedly used on people on the move.

@privacyinternational.org4/ The ILO should sustain its commitment to the Convention and provide technical expertise and guidance to support swift ratification and effective implementation and enforcement.
@privacyinternational.org3/ Among other provisions, the Convention calls for stronger protections around fairer compensation, data protection rights and social protection rights.
@privacyinternational.org2/ Governments need to ratify the Convention, and, engaging with workers and civil society, proceed with adopting national legislation to ensure effective national implementation and enforcement.
@privacyinternational.org1/ In June 2026, the @ILO adopted the first Convention which addresses the impact of technology on platform workers’ rights and calls for the responsible use of automated decision making in the workplace. So what happens now?
@privacyinternational.orgNorway's move is a welcome protection against big tech's greedy attempts to extract ever more data, often in absence of any thought for the privacy or rights of others.
No reality exists in which people expect to be secretly surveilled going about their daily lives

@privacyinternational.orgWhat's further concerning is that they continue to extend these deployments when there is no specific legal framework in place to regulate facial recognition, which is essential to ensure there are restrictions and safeguards on its use to protect people's rights.
@privacyinternational.orgThousands of people have their highly sensitive facial data processed in public spaces as they go about their daily lives, sometimes unknowingly. It also undermines claims of it being a targeted measure.
@privacyinternational.orgWe are deeply concerned by the results of the British Transport Police's live FRT trial. It reaffirms how invasive and disproportionate live facial recognition tech is and why it shouldn't be permitted.

@privacyinternational.org6/ All of that needs to happen by engaging directly with workers, their representatives and civil society in order to develop an effective legislative framework to implement the Convention at the national level in open and inclusive dialogue.
@privacyinternational.org5/ For one, when implementing the Convention, Member States need to ruminate on vague terms such as “appropriate measures”, “significant” or “legitimate purposes”. They must be clearly defined, with clear enforcement standards articulated to effectively realise the protections in the Convention.
