Corsight AI, the global leader in facial intelligence solutions, today announced the appointment of Tony Porter QPM LLB, former UK Surveillance Camera Commissioner, as Chief Privacy Officer. Porter will spearhead Corsight’s ethical AI and privacy-by-design strategy, strengthening the company’s commitment to responsible innovation and compliance across global markets.
With over three decades of experience in policing, counter-terrorism, and data ethics, Porter brings a unique perspective to Corsight AI’s mission to deliver highly accurate, real-time facial intelligence technology while upholding the highest standards of privacy and human rights. In his previous role as Surveillance Camera Commissioner for England & Wales, he played a pivotal role in shaping government policy, accountability, and public trust in the use of video analytics and biometrics.
“Corsight AI sits at the forefront of facial intelligence – not just technologically, but ethically,” said Tony Porter. “I am delighted to join a company that recognises that powerful AI must be developed and deployed responsibly to protect both security and civil liberties.”
In his new position, Porter will advise on internal governance, product development, and customer deployment frameworks to ensure Corsight AI’s technology aligns with regulatory expectations around the world – including the UK GDPR, EU AI Act, and emerging global standards.
“Tony’s reputation and expertise in ethical surveillance are unmatched,” said Rob Watts, CEO of Corsight AI. “His appointment reinforces our commitment to delivering the most accurate facial recognition solutions on the market in a way that protects privacy, enhances transparency, and builds trust.”
Porter’s appointment comes as Corsight AI continues its rapid international expansion, securing multiple high-profile deployments in public safety, transportation, retail, and critical infrastructure. His leadership will further support customers in deploying AI-driven solutions that operate within stringent legal and ethical boundaries.
