Human rights regulator criticises Met's use of facial recognition cameras The UK's equality regulator has criticised the Metropolitan Police's use of live facial recognition technology (LFRT), saying the way it is being deployed is breaching human rights law. The tech works by scanning the faces of people recorded on CCTV and then comparing them against a watchlist of people who the police are seeking. The Met says it has made more than 1,000 arrests since January 2024 using LFRT and is confi

Gormley has been finding a “way around it” by systematically exploring how tradition can be harnessed in new ways to repair what she has dubbed the “oil vernacular”—the contemporary building system shaped not by local, natural materials but by global commodities and plastic products made largely from fossil fuels. Though she grew up in a household rich in art and design—she’s the daughter of the famed British sculptor Antony Gormley—she’s quick to say she’s far from a brilliant maker and more o
