Australia's Curtin University wants 'unethical' AI study retracted
15 September 2021
An Australian university is calling for a controversial facial recognition study by an ex-faculty member to be retracted by its publisher.
The research, which was co-funded by China, used facial recognition software to identify members of the Uyghur minority group.
But Curtin University said the study breached ethics guidelines, with the subjects not giving informed consent.
The publisher, Wiley, said it was looking again at the research.
In a statement, Wiley said it had previously investigated the study and was "now reviewing the matter again taking into account the new information provided by Curtin University".
