While facial recognition AI may be a powerful tool, it should never be used for law enforcement. While many law enforcement agencies are using facial recognition to speed up line-ups and make arrests, other industries may benefit from it. For example, companies like Amazon use facial recognition to expedite checkout lines, while Disneyland uses it to speed up line-ups. These companies have a variety of customer testimonials and are open to feedback.
One example of how this technology works is the use of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). These algorithms use a sequence of images to learn the characteristics of a face. This helps to improve the accuracy of the match. And since each facial feature is different, the algorithms are able to create computer-generated faces that are tailored to a particular user. In a future, AI systems will be able to recognize faces based on these characteristics, and this will make it easier for businesses and law enforcement to manage and protect their facilities.
However, the problem is not only with the technology itself. Several studies have revealed that facial recognition AI is not completely ethical, and many scientists are calling on researchers to reconsider their research practices. The authors of Nature’s survey suggest that researchers should ask about the ethics of their research before publishing it. Almost half of the respondents felt that facial recognition software research should only be used with informed consent, while one quarter said it should not. The researchers are now taking steps to ensure the ethical use of facial recognition technology.
