I found this scary from the perspective of it's use by Law Enforcement. There have already been serious misuses of facial recognition software by LE, including using celebrity pictures as a query [1] because a witness described a perpetrator as looking like that celebrity. From the perspective of someone familiar with machine learning, this is a terrible misuse that is likely to lead to wrongful arrests. I can easily imagine LE using Speech2Face software to extract a facial reconstruction from a recording, then feeding this reconstruction into facial recognition software, not understanding how this will WILDLY propagate error. I'm not against industry use of machine learning, but this software has the propensity for extreme misuse. 1. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/05/16/police-have-used-celebrity-lookalikes-distorted-images-boost-facial-recognition-results-research-finds/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/05/16/police-...
