Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Facial recognition app a double-edged sword
While human inspectors can barely identify a most-wanted
criminal if he or she disguised themselves skillfully, today’s AI-powered
facial recognition systems can match the image of a person with biometric database
in less than a minute. Such facial recognition technologies are especially
useful in places where a lot of people walk around or through, such as train
stations, airports, and stadiums. In the meantime, people are captured their images
without their consent or knowledge. In fact, there are hundreds of millions of
cameras installed in public places and streets in China for security reasons. Feel
safer to visit China?
Another technology that is becoming popular among
video creators is deep fake. It is a technique to synthesize human image using
AI. The technology can combine and superimpose images and videos onto others by
using a machine learning technique. Deep fake is often used to create fake
news, hoaxes, and adverse videos.
Now you may wonder if facial recognition
technology and applications are on your side or the other side.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about
what should be done to regulate the use of facial recognition.
