Image Recognition
Facial recognition is one of the most controversial forms of AI. This has given rise to the development of several AI-powered privacy tools that help ‘fool’ facial recognition technology. FawkesDeveloped at the University of Chicago’s Sand lab, Fawkes very subtly alters photographs at a pixel level to trick facial recognition systems. A study showed that CycleGAN can also be used to fool facial recognition technology. This change stimulates the appearance of a new face when the facial recognition software runs upon them.
