The Advancements and Concerns of Facial Recognition Technology
TLDR Facial recognition technology has advanced significantly since the 1950s, allowing for the tracking of individuals in various locations. While it has beneficial uses such as tagging people on social media and helping find missing persons, there are concerns about its accuracy, potential for false positives, and its disproportionate impact on people of color.
Timestamped Summary
00:00
Facial recognition technology is becoming more advanced and widespread, allowing for tracking of individuals in various locations.
05:17
Facial recognition technology has improved significantly since the 1950s, particularly with the use of neural nets in machine learning, and has become more widespread and accessible, with platforms like Facebook processing millions of photos daily and services like Amazon's recognition being available to anyone.
10:28
Facial recognition technology uses precise measurements of a person's unique visual geometry, such as the distance between their eyes and the shape of their face, to compare it to a database of images and identify individuals.
15:24
Facial recognition technology uses algorithms to isolate and recognize specific features of a face, which are then compared to a database of images to determine a similarity score that indicates the likelihood of a match.
20:40
Facial recognition technology has beneficial uses, such as tagging people on social media, helping find missing persons, and identifying individuals who can't identify themselves.
25:50
Facial recognition technology is being used in various ways, both good and bad, such as tagging people on social media and tracking individuals for law enforcement purposes, but there is currently a lack of legislation governing its use.
31:01
Facial recognition technology has the potential to significantly speed up the identification process for law enforcement, but there are concerns about the fairness and potential for false positives when using this technology on everyday citizens.
35:56
Facial recognition technology has a disproportionate impact on people of color and is not as accurate in recognizing faces with darker skin due to the data sets that the machines have been trained on, which are largely white and male.
41:03
Clearview AI has a significant advantage in facial recognition technology because they scrape social media for 3 billion pictures, including links to social accounts, and there is currently no legislation regulating this invasive practice.
46:09
As society becomes increasingly surveilled and facial recognition technology becomes more ubiquitous, there is a concern that it will not only be used to match pictures against databases, but also to track individuals in real-time and access personal information about them.
