Pedestrian Recognition system with the ability to retrain for Gait Recognition [0] [1] would allow systems to track any individuals uniquely. Add to this sentiment analysis[2] and we end up in a very sci-fi realm. This make me curious about how an adversarial system [3] would defeat a system like this. Maybe early on, putting a quarter dollar in my shoes and thinking happy thought is all it will take. On a side note, I am reminded of an anime called Psycho Pass [4] which uses psychological rating given by a super intelligence to decide who needs to be taken off the streets to be treated. ------------------------- [0] https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21528835-600-cameras-know-you-by-your-walk/ https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21528835-600-cameras-...

Then add in some of the face2vec algorithms coming out (takes in an image of a person, outputs a vector that stays roughly stable for the same person in different images). Imagine the airport of the future where they won't bother with "Mr Smith, please report to Gate 6 for final boarding" while Mr Smith sits oblivious at the bar. Instead it will be "Mr Smith? We brought you your bill early because your flight is leaving in 10 minutes and you should get going" "But I didn't tell you my name or flight..."

  Or more realistically 'The probability of Mr Smith making his flight has dropped below x%, based on his body fat estimate, number of drinks, and distance from gate. Sell his seat.' "Would you like another drink sir?" Why alert him when they can sell his seat, sell him a few more drinks, a massage, and some entertainment?

    And there won't even be any "whistleblowers", since everyone will be able to honestly say they had no idea. The programmers will just plug all the information they have into a generic machine learning system, and ask it to predict the probability of a missed flight for each flyer, based on opaque correlations.

      Ever since they cancelled Person of Interest, I find myself waiting for this future, because I really miss good dystopian AI plotlines.

      Okay this is freaky. This is a legitimate reason to worry about AIs. The "world domination" angle seems overblown, but machine learning has the potential to evolve some immoral behaviors like this without anybody even knowing.

        There are people talking about those issues: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/10/cathy_oneil_on_1.html http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/10/cathy_oneil_on_1.ht...

  With strong(ish) AI in your pocket (phone) your personal digital assistant would be pinged by the airport AI, then your digital assistant would remind you get get going. I imagine this sort of transaction going on a lot in the future. It kinda happens now via email and in browsers. My browser sort of organises and filters all sorts of messages from websites. Also some primitive geo-location also happens... this can only get better as the services mature.
