As research continues to prove that AI is not an impartial arbiter of who’s who (or who’s what), various mechanisms are being devised to mitigate the collateral damage from facial recognition software ...

Facial-recognition algorithms from Los Angeles startup TrueFace are good enough that the US Air Force uses them to speed security checks at base entrances. But CEO Shaun Moore says he’s facing a new ...

New research from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) suggests face masks are hampering facial recognition systems. Because the protective coverings obscure the bottom half of ...

Wearing a mask doesn't just limit the spread of COVID-19 — it may also makes it harder for facial recognition algorithms to identify you, according to a new study. The National Institute of Standards ...

In addition to limiting the spread of germs through coughing, face masks have become an unlikely protagonist against facial recognition algorithms and the general menace of surveillance. These masks — ...

Researchers have now taught an AI algorithm to model first impressions and accurately predict how people will be perceived based on a photograph of their face. When two people meet, they instantly ...

In 2012, artificial intelligence researchers engineered a big leap in computer vision thanks, in part, to an unusually large set of images—thousands of everyday objects, people, and scenes in photos ...

There are privacy concerns as most first-world countries use facial recognition to identify people during protests. Sometimes on a massive scale. It is not targeted facial recognition to identify ...
