1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Foodstuff's facial recognition trial that's worked out well. They tell us.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Of the twenty five North Island stores that took part,

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: harm was reduced by sixteen percent. Thought the technology played

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: a part in preventing more than one hundred serious install incidents,

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: and we're talking things like assault. The evaluator from Skelatia Analytics,

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: the firm director is Adam Barker, who's with us. Adam

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: morning to you.

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: What your thought versus what you got? Was it the

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: same thing? Yeah?

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: It was pretty close. We anticipated about well, we were

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 2: hope you were at least a twenty percent production and

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: harm and what we have ended up with as a

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: sixteen percent production and harm.

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: And so where do you go from here? I mean,

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: if everyone agrees at work so more please? Is that

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: how it works?

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: Well? From here? Our report has gone to food Stuff's

19
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: and then Food Stuffs and Turn has passed it on

20
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. It's currently in

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: the hands of the Privacy Commissioner now to make some

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: decisions around where they would like to try and see

23
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: facial recognition go next.

24
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: Is there a problem with it? I mean, how many

25
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: people actually mined about having their face photographed, sword, et cetera.

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: Not many, but I don't think that's There is clearly

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: a balance that does need to be struck between privacy

28
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: impacts and the harm reduction that occurs. And one of

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: the important things that we tried to do in our

30
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: work was to assess the balance between those different impacts

31
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: and to understand what the public thought. And what we

32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: found in that work was that the sixteen percent reduction

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: is more than enough to justify the privacy impacts in

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: the view of most of the public.

35
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Is the way of the future.

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: Well, I guess I certainly feel like it should be

37
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: part of the mix of things that had done in

38
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: the future.

39
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Good stuff, you go, well, Adam, appreciate it very much.

40
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: Adam Barker, Sclety, Director Trial Evaluator. If it works, it works.

41
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,440
