Artificial Intelligence
Facial recognition technology is an innovative advancement that uses aspects of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and biometrics. It's designed to identify or verify a person by comparing and analyzing facial patterns. This technology captures an image, extracts unique facial features, transforms this data into a facial signature, and then matches it against a database of known faces. Facial recognition has multiple applications including sorting photos, unlocking phones, online banking transactions, surveillance, law enforcement, and security. However, this technology has also raised concerns about privacy, consent, and surveillance as critics argue it's being used unethically, leading to omnipresent surveillance and privacy invasions.
