They never seem to get the Islamic Fundamentalists.
Let the statistical battles emerge...
Can we use it on election day to stamp out ballot stuffing?
I have been tying my long mustache into dreadlocks and painting my face with a low contrast military camouflage scheme to try and defeat this. All this because of the stupid traffic cameras.
Id like to be able to use this app. Citizens ought to be able to get his tech as well.
The most dangerous part of such algorithms is the faces associated with a match. The system also looks at and tags who a hit associates with. So think about it. FBI/using excuses to spy.
So what?
They aren’t even prosecuting crimes under a certain dollar amount anyways?
Why even bother? (rhetorical question)
I am employed in a maximum security correctional facility. A while back we had a system installed that takes pictures of a visitor’s face, and matches that with a national database. (They want to be sure gangbangers, known drug distributors, etc. don’t get in)
When we installed the system, the contractor needed someone to stand in front of the backdrop screen so they could adjust the lighting, camera angle, focus, etc.
Now before I go on, I need to point out that I am a male, in the second half of my 50s, overweight and with a very typical “ugly old guy” face.
The guy running the system took the picture, and ran it to check the system. “Hey! You got a match!” The damn thing thought I was some ugly old woman from the other side of the country.
But they won’t put them in jail anyway.
The thing we should all get behind is using this for voter ID.
No more wailing that it is too expensive or hard to get a voter ID card, or claims that “I left it home”.
Just get you picture taken when you register to vote and at the polling place before you get a ballot.
Voter fraud is suddenly diminished by 99%.
And, if you vote twice, the evidence is overwhelming.
