advances in artificial intelligence , face-recognition systems are spreading like knotweed. Facebook, a social network, uses the technology to label people in uploaded photographs. Modern smartphones can be unlocked with it. Some banks employ it to verify transactions. Supermarkets watch for under-age drinkers. Advertising billboards assess consumers’ reactions to their contents.
In 2010, for instance, as part of a thesis for a master’s degree at New York University, an American researcher and artist named Adam Harvey created “[computer vision] Dazzle”, a style of make-up designed to fool face recognisers. It uses bright colours, high contrast, graded shading and asymmetric stylings to confound an algorithm’s assumptions about what a face looks like. To a human being, the result is still clearly a face.
An even subtler idea was proposed by researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Indiana University Bloomington, and Alibaba, a big Chinese information-technology firm, in a paper published in 2018. It is a baseball cap fitted with tiny light-emitting diodes that project infra-red dots onto the wearer’s face. Many of the cameras used in face-recognition systems are sensitive to parts of the infra-red spectrum. Since human eyes are not, infra-red light is ideal for covert trickery.

alllibertynews Chinks? Have you ever used this word to describe a security hole in the past?
'Chinks'? HONKY if this insensitive perjorative CRACKER you and had you HAOLE FARANG. I mean honk if this insensitive perjorative cracked you up and had you howling for long
*cringe* you might want to consider rewording that.
NOT ALLOW
Poor choice of words... gonna screenshot it and spread it... whoever wrote this title need to be demoted, this is like saying “scientists just found new ways of recycling white trash such as plastic bags”. Absurd, ridiculous.
That's outrageous!! Such a majestic and intelligent species on the brink of extnction by other...not so'intelligent'species! :)))
normative It's funny how our brains pick words.
The difference between computer and human is that only their creator know their functions!
'chinks'?
You can also all wear black sun glasses or be like the people in the Matrix and all wear the same suits and sunglasses XD
Antifa: STOP COPYING US!!!
Joe Biden is FINISHED
Showing Asian men and writing chinks.... wow, now I've seen it all...

They're called dazzlers and are not a new idea, though they were originally meant to blind cameras but these same methods (among others) can be used as counter measures to software based systems.
Good show from the Hong Kong researchers there.
Hopefully by this new tech.. Gun ownership is relegated OUT of 2nd amendment to protect from being shot to death.. At least facial recognition AI can be sued in the courts...
It could become handy when Skynet takes over :D
Face recognition is the most evil AI technology. It doesn't benefit the world as a whole but helps thuggish nations to control their people.
Face recognition technology has already been subverted first and foremost by its creators, innovators and programmers.
It's PII. Should be protected as much as possible. Control on agencies who have face recognition technology is much needed.
the terrorists always hide their face
