The AI for Individual Rights Newsletter #14 is out.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban is using tens of thousands of cameras, which officials say are AI-powered, to surveil women forced to follow its repressive rules.
Meanwhile, a new open-weight model, Qwen 3.8 27B, offers powerful AI that can run locally and privately on high-end computers.
We end with a report from Hugging Face examining how the open-weight AI landscape has grown and changed this year.
