"Innocent shoppers should not have to submit to Orwellian identity checks just to buy a loaf of bread or pick up nappies. The mass rollout of live facial recognition across Sainsbury's stores is a shameful decision that treats customers like suspects, putting millions of law-abiding people at serious risk of privacy intrusions and humiliating false shoplifting accusations."

I wouldn't say I dislike that all the new outlets are like "Hmmm … smart glasses might be a bit inconvenient for your privacy"—how about a news piece titled "How to effectively fight against smart glasses in an act of digital self defense"

I’m currently watching an ABC iView drama series called #TheCapture. The central theme is ubiquitous #CCTV coverage coupled to #AI and #FacialRecognition. It is a BBC series so the action happens in the UK. The story expands on London’s CCTV coverage and the ability to identify anyone based on facial recognition software. It extrapolates this technology to marry it up with advances in #AI ability to fake video footage with dire consequences of course. It makes for a chilling series and more that a little unsettling considering what #TechBros can already do today because it is but a short step to what is portrayed.

I’ve just made sure both cameras on my iPad are securely taped over. Can’t do much about the microphone, but I’m a quiet person anyway.

If this sounds like panic… no, it’s not… well at least not yet…

You never know who’s watching you though…

Ps. Don’t take this too seriously, we have a few years to go before such technology is possible and becomes a tool to pervert the course of justice and enable Ai-driven technolog given the power to be judge and jury and, dare I say, the executioner.

Perverted AI technologies? What’s not to like?

A great series to watch though.

UK launched largest facial recognition programme in British history: 27 police forces, £26m, LFR in knife crime hotspots. Algorithm has documented racial bias, scans everyone, 50 vans deployed. Mainstream coverage: almost none.

🤔 Thinking about using one's face to unlock devices...
What happens to the ability to unlock a device after one's face ages?
Some people's facial features remain the same for decades, then abruptly start to change with wrinkles and loss of muscle tone so I am thinking in the future this could be a problem.

#Meta Tapped a #Pentagon Supplier to Prototype #FacialRecognition for Its #SmartGlasses
The arrangement is documented in a software license, obtained by WIRED, that was issued by #RankOne Computing—a Denver-based company that derives roughly 80 percent of its revenue from government clients (#US Marshalls, #NCIS, US Special Operations Command)—and is tied to a test version of the Meta #AI app that powers Meta's Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses.
