Facial recognition is a powerful tool. The accuracy rate is almost perfect, especially when fed with enough data. Here's why it needs to be regulated.
How does my iPhone know that's me? And how does Facebook know that's me? And why is Facebook always asking if I want to tag myself in these photos? Well, both are using facial recognition technology. So what's going on?
CBP says they're not storing the photos, but it's hard to prove if that's true or not. The US Customs and Border Protection claims they do delete photos after 12 hours and that they also give US citizens the option to opt out of checking-in with facial recognition and check-in manually. The reality is not many travelers know that they can opt out of the technology.
Facial recognition is a powerful tool, and with great power comes great responsibility, right? It could wind up being great for automation, finding missing people, or just checking you in at the airport.
So theoretically, if the facial recognition software has enough variety of images of me, it should be able to recognize me a hundred percent of the time, even if I fed it an image of me in a darker scenario with glasses on and short blue hair.
