Schneier on Security RSSSmart Glasses for the Authorities
ICE is developing its own version of smart glasses, with facial recognition tied to various databases.... https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2026/05/smart-glasses-for-the-authorities.html
The Keystone CollectiveA 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.

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.

Ondrej ZizkaTested 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 :)
