A team researchers from the UK and India have developed an AI that can detect people using deep learning to boost facial recognition capabilities, even when certain physical features are hidden.
What does this mean; you could identify with watching shots and photos, no matter if you cover your face with a hat, scarf, glasses or beard.
Το σύστημα βαθιάς μάθησης εξετάζει 14 points in a face and measures the distances between them to identify people.
By compiling AI with different datasets, the team managed to achieve a 56% success rate to locate disguised individuals.
So, as shown, this technology has not yet been refined, as this success rate drops to 43% when the person wears glasses.
Tip: If you intend to attend a protest, it is advisable to wear glasses to protect your privacy.
The risk, as the paper says, is that such systems could be constantly improved and used by governments to identify dissenting citizens.
