Atlanta市长迪肯斯提出监控技术监管立法 高风险设备启用前须提交影响报告
位于佐治亚州富尔顿县的亚特兰大市，据Atlanta市政府发布的消息，市长安德烈·迪肯斯近日提出立法，为Atlanta各部门与机构获取、使用、监督与审计监控技术建立全市统一框架。
拟议条例将以基于风险的审查取代以往主要按成本审查的做法，综合考虑技术的性能、用途、规模、敏感性、数据处理方式与潜在影响。核心原则是：监控技术越强大，所需的监督、透明度与问责就越强。法案要求高风险监控技术在启用前提交《监控影响报告》与《监控使用政策》，说明技术的功能、市政府使用它的原因、谁可以访问以及数据将如何处理，并在部署或重大扩展影响最大的技术之前，为公众审查与意见提供切实机会。
迪肯斯表示：“技术可以帮助我们预防犯罪、应对紧急情况并提供更好的服务，但公共安全与公众信任必须齐头并进。这项立法为全市如何审查、使用与监控监控技术制定了清晰、一致的规则。”
Atlanta Mayor Dickens Introduces Surveillance Technology Oversight Legislation
Atlanta is a city in Fulton County, Georgia. Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens has introduced legislation establishing a comprehensive citywide framework for the acquisition, use, oversight and auditing of surveillance technology by city departments and agencies, according to a City of Atlanta release.
The proposed ordinance would replace a primarily cost-based review approach with a risk-based system that considers a technology's capabilities, intended use, scale, sensitivity, data practices and potential impact. Its core principle is that the more powerful the surveillance technology, the stronger the oversight, transparency and accountability required. Higher-risk technologies would require Surveillance Impact Reports and Surveillance Use Policies before use, explaining what the technology does, why the city is using it, who may access it and how data will be handled, with opportunities for public review and input before the city deploys or materially expands its highest-impact tools.
'Technology can help us prevent crime, respond to emergencies and deliver better services, but public safety and public trust have to move forward together,' Dickens said. 'This legislation puts clear, consistent rules in place for how surveillance technology is reviewed, used and monitored across the City.'
