Two huge things went wrong in the internet era: lack of inclusion and lack of impartiality. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that in less than 24 hours, Microsoft’s AI bot Tay began tweeting racist and inflammatory statements, and Google’s deep learning platform misidentified gorillas and dark-skinned people…
Researchers at Israeli Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have found a way to thwart facial recognition cameras using certain software-generated patterns and natural makeup techniques, with a success rate of 98 percent. For the study ‘Dodging Attack Using Carefully Crafted Natural Makeup’,…
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 question: How good is TrueFace’s technology when people are wearing…
When it comes to reading emotions on people’s faces, artificial intelligence still lags behind human observers, according to a new study involving UCL. The difference was particularly pronounced when it came to spontaneous displays of emotion, according to the findings published in PLOS…
Researchers have piloted a deep learning algorithm that can recognize visual cues of sickness, also known as “clinical gestalt,” in facial photos. The team trained the model on 126 photos of healthy individuals in the Chicago Face Database and 26 photos that…
Researchers have demonstrated a method to create “master faces,” computer generated faces that act like master keys for facial recognition systems, and can impersonate several identities with what the researchers claim is a high probability of success. In their paper, researchers at the…
The department has said no thanks to the Clearview AI platform, after an expose showing that officers had used it 475 times during a trial period alone. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has banned the use of commercial facial-recognition services –…
With the advent of 5G communication technology and its integration with AI, we are looking at the dawn of a new era in which people, machines, objects, and devices are connected like never before. This smart era will be characterized by smart…
In the past year, thousands of people in the U.S. have tried to trick facial identification verification to fraudulently claim unemployment benefits from state workforce agencies, according to identity verification firm ID.me Inc. The company, which uses facial-recognition software to help verify individuals on…
AsAs artificial intelligence is used to make more decisions about our lives, engineers have sought out ways to make it more emotionally intelligent. That means automating some of the emotional tasks that come naturally to humans — most notably, looking at a person’s…
