> You can then use these "cloaked" photos as you normally would, sharing them on social media, sending them to friends, printing them or displaying them on digital devices, the same way you would any other photo. The difference, however, is that if and when someone tries to use these photos to build a facial recognition model, "cloaked" images will teach the model an highly distorted version of what makes you look like you. The cloak effect is not easily detectable, and will not cause errors in model training. However, when someone tries to identify you using an unaltered image of you (e.g. a photo taken in public), and tries to identify you, they will fail. So, if I adopt this and upload only cloaked images on social media, and the people I normally interact with also do the same, then facial recognition will be able to detect me based on someone showing the system that I’m present in the photo (even though it identifies me as the distorted version)? If the above understanding is true, then even law enforcement could cloak all the photos they have and try to match captures with their raw photo set and the cloaked photo set to narrow it down for a human? What am I missing?
