ABSTRACT

In the contemporary landscape, the intersection of privacy concerns and advanced surveillance technologies has emerged as a critical issue, reshaping the boundaries of personal autonomy and data security. As surveillance technologies, including AI-driven monitoring systems, facial recognition, and data analytics, become increasingly sophisticated, they offer unprecedented capabilities for monitoring and analyzing individuals’ behavior. While these advancements can enhance security and streamline various processes, they also pose significant risks to privacy. This research article explores the multifaceted privacy challenges introduced by the proliferation of surveillance technologies. It delves into how these technologies collect, process, and disseminate personal data, often without explicit consent or adequate transparency. The analysis includes a review of current privacy laws and regulations, assessing their effectiveness in addressing the rapidly evolving technological landscape. Particular attention is given to the limitations of existing legal protections and the need for more robust and adaptive frameworks to safeguard privacy in the digital age.
