(Advanced) Facial Recognition Technology - Uses and Risk Factors

With the introduction of the iPhone X, Apple brought to the forefront facial recognition technology, or what they call FaceID - a way for users to be able to unlock their phone just by looking at it. The technology has been around for decades, but not until now has it started raising questions about safety and security. Just recently, a controversial Stanford University study used face recognition to determine whether someone was gay or straight. Kathryn Ryan speaks with Clare Garvie - a privacy lawyer who researches the risks of face recognition technology at Georgetown University.

Kronos Quartet try out facial recognition technology

How reliable is AI at telling us about ourselves?

An art project is looking at how machines might perceive the world compared to humans.

While the Kronos Quartet perform, the artificial intelligence (AI) Sight Machine uses algorithms to read the musicians' genders, ages and emotions.

A projection of what the AI is interpreting is displayed behind the musicians, but how reliable is the AI in what it sees?

Do you feel this ad was stereotyping women and men?



















Discuss the comments:








"This hysterical clip shows us very clearly how important it is to LISTEN when women talk and not try to solve their problems!!!! LOL!"













"The way men and women communicate with each other is very different. Men want to fix things. Women need to be heard. Men need to watch this."














"Don't try to fix it. I just need you to listen." Every man has heard these words. And they are the law of the land. No matter what."














Judging by the 2k thumbs down, there are at least 2k women with a nail in their forehead!
