Image Recognition
Microsoft president Brad Smith warns that life will be like George Orwell’s 1984 by 2024 if no legislation is introduced to protect the public from artificial intelligence. Facial recognition software works by matching a real-time image with a photo of a previous person. The facial recognition system used by Chinese officials connects to millions of CCTV cameras and uses artificial intelligence to select targets. Experts believe that facial recognition technology will soon overtake fingerprint technology as the most effective way to identify a person. Smith said this is an example of artificial intelligence found around the world that brings the real world closer to science fiction.
