Ironically how? Facial recognition isn't banned. Research isn't banned.
Another problem is that the risk of abuse is too great, even if the accuracy was flawless.
- Ajedi32 7y agoI find it ironic because that's one particular privacy problem where better facial recognition technology is the solution, not the cause. If the accuracy were flawless then there would be zero false positives, and the aforementioned issue wouldn't exist at all.
- tjoff 7y agoYou can't seriously believe that better facial recognition technology will result in better privacy - in any imaginable future. We live in a universe where Facebook and Google exist and people in adtech can justify their actions. Yet perfect facial recognition will lead to better privacy? Oh, and it is hardly the only issue.
- Ajedi32 7y agoYou're taking my statement out of context. Better facial recognition would fix the one particular privacy issue that you brought up. (False positives.) I've said nothing about adtech, Google, Facebook, or any of the other topics you're just now bringing into this discussion.
- tjoff 7y agoFair enough, I just don't find that solving one edge-case at the same time as creating countless new major issues is particularly helpful.
