ICYMI: The UK govt wants criminal migrants to scan their faces up to five times a day

The UK's Home Office and Ministry of Justice want migrants with criminal convictions to scan their faces up to five times a day using a smartwatch kitted out with facial-recognition software.

Location data will also be beamed back. Up to five images will be sent every day, allowing officials to track known criminals' whereabouts. Only foreign-national offenders, who have been convicted of a criminal offense, will be targeted, it is claimed. The data will be shared with the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office, it's said.

For this technology demonstration, they built a 20-billion-parameter transformer-based system, dubbed the Alexa Teacher Model or AlexaTM, and fed it terabytes of text scraped from the internet in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Marathi, Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil, and Telugu.
