How Facial Recognition Technology Could Help Catch Criminals

Facial recognition software, or using computer vision and biometric technology on an image of a person to identify them, has potential applications in law enforcement to help catch suspects or criminals. However, aspects of probability are at play, especially as the photos or videos captured become blurrier and need an additional layer of software analysis to be “de-pixelized.” Also, identification depends on the databases to which the FBI has access.

CBP Facial Recognition Scanners Failed to Find a Single Imposter At Airports in 2020

Customs and Border protection used facial recognition technology to scan travelers entering the U.S at several points of entry in 2020, and did not identify any impostors or impersonators. This is part of a larger program of using biometrics to screen those who enter the country, which raises concerns about data privacy, who may have access to this data, and how it may be used.

These Doctors are using AI to Screen for Breast Cancer

A computer vision algorithm created by an MIT PhD student and trained on a large data set of mammogram photos from several years show potential for use in radiology. The algorithm is able to identify risk for breast cancer seemingly more reliably than the older statistical models through tagging the data with attributes that human eyes have missed. This would allow for customization in screening and treatment plans.

South Korea has used AI to bring a dead superstar’s voice back to the stage, but ethical concerns abound

The South Korean company Supertone has created a machine learning algorithm which has been able to replicate the voice of beloved singer Kim Kwang-seok, thus performing a new single in his voice even after his death. However, certain ethical questions such as who owns artwork created by AI and how to avoid fraud ought to be addressed before such technology is used more widely.
