Facial Recognition

The FBI launched it's newest facial recognition program this week, but it really isn't facial anymore. It recognizes iris, voice, and gait as well. Previous attempts to get people to willingly accept facial recognition through Faebook tagging did not go as planned when people began to tag their dogs, cats, toes on the beach, favorite chairs, cups of coffee, and other inanimate objects. What do you think about the latest software being applied to your face?

The best and most reliable form of identification is facial recognition. This was 27 years ago while working as an MP on the gate. It was only a matter of time before the system caught up with us all!

P.S. I do like Person of Interest and believe that each little camera above each red light now dimes you out for texting on the phone at stop lights!

CPO Jon Campbell More and more Orwellian by the day. The things we accept blithely pretending to be good stewards of our liberty.

First of all LOL for the tagging comment, well done... well done.

Second Facial recognize me all you want, because my face changes as my weight fluctuates. So that can be a daily change depending on whose BBQ I have attended. The same thing applies to voice, as weight can change the tenor of the voice. Now iris... hmmm... have to figure that one out.
