Smart Glasses for the Authorities - Schneier on Security

ICE is developing its own version of smart glasses, with facial recognition tied to various databases.

Schneier on Security

A corporation scans your face, adds you to a criminal database, shares it with dozens of retailers, and when it's wrong, you get £25 voucher and silence from the ICO.

We gave algorithms the power to punish. We gave victims a QR code.

Guilty until proven innocent: shoppers falsely identified by facial recognition system struggle to clear their names

People shamed and ordered to leave shops after being misidentified then ‘given no help’ to investigate verdicts

I wonder whether wearing an #FFP2 #respirator inside the store makes a false accusation more or less likely.

Die Zeit drängt. Die Gesetzentwürfe stehen schon am 29.4. auf der Tagesordnung des Bundeskabinetts. Wer jederzeit erkannt werden kann, überlegt sich zweimal, ob sie oder er auf eine Demo geht, einen kritischen Post teilt – oder auch nur in Ruhe durch die Stadt läuft. Die Gesetzentwürfe greifen tief in unsere Grundrechte ein: in die Versammlungsfreiheit, die Meinungsfreiheit, das Recht auf Privatsphäre und das Recht, sich frei und unbeobachtet im öffentlichen Raum zu bewegen. Wir sagen:...

Not like there's any lack of reasons, but yeah.

As usual, sex workers are among the first to be harmed by bad policies or dubious tools.

And as long as the stigma stays, they'll sadly remain major targets for abusing those…

Tested on a really large photo collection, and the results are quite good. Like with KD-tree, there are some catch-all clusters, but most of the clusters are very precisely matching only one person. Over 90 % precision with epsilon 0.3 (vs. KD-tree's ~40 % on 100k's of photos when it starts applying the search limit).

A proper UX will need multi-clustering (multiple clusters fitting the same person), but I believe that the guys from the DigiKam team will ace it :)
