Image Recognition
However, over the past few years, several mainstream media organizations have uncritically parroted the claims of politicized organizations that seek to portray these technologies — particularly facial recognition technology and non-lethal automated robotic guns — as immoral and dangerous. Understanding the Technology: Facial Recognition & Robot GunsFacial recognition technology maps the features of a person’s face and then connects it to their identifying information, which is stored in a database. This is similar to the way that facial recognition technology is used at various border crossings throughout the world. As will be explained later, facial recognition technology is used by a wide variety of countries, both democratic and non-democratic. There are surveillance cameras that employ facial recognition technology in the Ashdod port as well as Jewish areas of Jerusalem and there is an initiative underway for this technology to be expanded across the country.
