Māori data specialists say government agencies are ignoring them while carrying on extending the reach of facial recognition technology.
An advocate of Māori data sovereignty, Janelle Riki-Waaka says crucial protections have been left out of a bill before Parliament.
The Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Bill sets up a legal framework for how a person is identified online.
Janelle Riki-Waaka tells Kathryn that a requirement for partnership with Māori to be added to the accreditation regime had been asked for in a hui with officials.
Janelle is MC-ing the Digital Trust Hui Taumata Summit 2022 at Te Papa.
