This 'Digital Camouflage' Shirt Confuses AI-Powered #Surveillance #Cameras
I am standing in front of a #camera that’s streaming to a giant video screen. The image #recognition #AI running on the camera puts a big green box around me. “PERSON,” it says. Artist Simon Weckert hands me his newest creation, a button-down shirt with flowery, blurry globs of green and pink. I put the shirt in front of me. The box and the word “PERSON” disappears. I pull the shirt away. The box pops back up. I put the shirt in front of me. It disappears. This is “digital camouflage,” and it has confused the #algorithm.
#Weckert designed digital #camouflage as a response to the proliferation of AI-powered surveillance cameras that detect people, vehicles, animals, bicycles, and other objects in their field of view
