The parade is broadcast live and the video is then available online. This permanent and viewable content can be transformed into a strategic tool for an enemy of Belgium. “”With the rise of AI systems and superordinators, it is technically possible to identify faces, even with an average image quality or a partially masked face, and to connect them to digital identities “continues Minister Francken.
Tools like Clearview Ai or Pimeyes, which work with Huge online image databases make it possible to identify a person by crossing information from social networks, forums, data leaks or other public sources. Artificial intelligence can also analyze behavior, insignia, approach, morphology or even voice and deduce an individual profile. By crossing all this data, current software is able to draw up a person’s journey, list their past professional choices.

“These men and women also represent Belgium during international operations and can be the target of espionage or threats abroad. An opponent who knows their identity, their address or their entourage could use this information for targeted or physical attacks. It is therefore not paranoia, but of prevention. The need to protect those who risk their lives for our security.”
