In the EU wouldn’t this be banned?

It would be illegal so that means it is in the UK also. I’m pretty sure they use it in my local UK based chain store in Ireland though. Illegal doesn’t mean it isn’t used.

Why is most use of AI prima facie illegal in the EU? Because it lacks a meaningful right to deletion.
Obviously in this case it also falls foul of proportionality, fairness, transparency, minimisation, limitation, accuracy, storage, integrity, confidentiality, and accountability.

Mass use of facial recognition is an obvious utter clusterfuck at variance with GDPR and ALL the principles of data protection.

I’d expect them to claim legitimate interest, just as they are doing for conventional video surveillance already.

Businesses always claim necessity as consent is such a bother to maintain (even if people would) but this is multiply failing and, with the addition of AI, there really is no way to actually do this in accordance with the law. You cannot have your personal data meaningfully deleted.

If they were training one big amorphous bad guy recognition model, then sure. But I don’t think that’s a given when they are trying to ban specific individuals.

Rwanda policy: Government to ask Supreme Court to take Rwanda ruling.

There’s no appeal as of right to the Supreme Court, and a cursory reading of the opinion doesn’t suggest that the Court of Appeal gave leave to appeal (they normally leave it up to the Supreme Court which cases they take). If I were one of the Justices I would take some pleasure in refusing leave. I suspect a 2:1 split with the Lord Chief Justice in the minority increases the chance they’ll take it up though, sadly.

He claimed [insert some bollocks or other], without producing any evidence for the allegation.

Yup. That’s our Nigel!

And if he’s really leaving Britain - we don’t want him.

He can go live anywhere he wants in the EU.

Oops, my bad.
