The threat voice recognition technology poses to our rights needs to be addressed now — before our voices become yet another piece of biometric data to be used against us.

Ban biometric surveillance! Access Now and over 150 civil society actors across the globe are calling for a ban on biometric surveillance.

Access Now and European Digital Rights explain why we need a bold, bright-line approach to regulating AI — not more AI ethics guidelines and soft law — to protect our fundamental rights.
