> face recognition on random people in photos
Except they're not. They just match faces to itself and the user has to tell Google photos who it is. Google Photos isn't running faces against a database to ID people, it only matches like faces within your own albums.
- 8ytecoder 4y agoI avoid Google products. But even to me it’s obvious that they’re not doing a global match. All facial recognition - if you could even call it that - is simply within the users photos. Kinda like a categorisation algorithm. Now, if they took this data and used it elsewhere Texas might have a case. Otherwise it should be thrown out.
- monksy 4y agoThey are doing face recognition but not detection. It's always amusing when I go through google photos and it shows me complete strangers that I have in my photographs.
