How AI facial recognition is being used to track down criminals | BBC News

Data and artificial intelligence (AI) software is being increasingly used to track down criminals.
One facial recognition company, Clear View AI, used AI to track down a child abuser in the US.
But campaigners have raised concerns about its use as "digital police line-up" as UK police roll out live facial recognition operations.

Dystopian.

[@richardkent2014]

Just wear a mask a hat sunglasses technology by itself can't prove if you committed a crime or d.n.a.. They say here it's unreliable from the primitive times what can they change if your not caught in the crime they still have to prove it

I better never catch you using Face ID.

Police think they going to control peoples minds? What about when people find out about covid murders! They afraid of a upriising? Why? Can they press a button to calm everyone down? 😂

@@Dragon-Slay3r Yes, a DARPA whistleblower admitted that they now have ways of controlling human behaviour and Yuval Hoah Harari said that humans are hackable animals. Harari also said that they no longer need the vast majority of the population.😨

summary: don't ever upload your face pics to any website, period.

[@nick_vash]

You shouldn't do it yourself someone will do it for you. For example I've found my images with the help of an AI "Pimeyes" at different and unexpected places like pubs, nightclubs and even a church which had taken photos for their websites. I've even found my friends being just bystanders at some different places like sitting next table to those being photographed at nightclubs So this technology will work even without our participation

None of it matters if you wear a mask I believe they have creates a fragile society with technology d.n.a. and law none of it can prove you have committed a crime if your there and video evidence presented never shows the build up so what it's proving.

[@alexandermoody1946]

This technology has far more possible uses than just for security and understandably people are cautious of adoption of such but the implications for industry's are really interesting and insightful for example true understanding of human values, how people use tools and interact with the real world so that when technology like this really expands to every security camera always recording and precisely correlating all of our human values, experiences and working processes then the produced data set will have remarkable tangible applications that can transform the world. The real question is you can have your privacy but would you want to?
