> Machine learning algorithms are learning to identify people just by their walk -- no face recognition required. About a decade ago I knew people researching computer vision algorithms doing non-facial recognition (stuff like ear shape/gait/etc) because companies like Fortinet were trying to build "automated doormans" to apartment/condo complexes where they would scan and analyze any humans walking by the cameras placed at the door. Not a lick of ethics from anyone involved. What we need is rabid legislation that encodes a right to be forgotten, because clearly an expectation of privacy isn't enough. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with automating identification, but I do think there's a lot wrong with companies trying to do it for every human being that they can possibly find without any consent.
