Google not to Provide Controversial Face Recognition Technology

"We keep working with many businesses to recognize and handle these challenges, and unlike a few other companies, Google Cloud has chosen to not provide general-purpose facial recognition APIs before working through significant engineering and coverage questions," educated Walker. Microsoft President Brad Smith explained that given the potential for abuse of this fast advancing facial recognition technology, governments throughout the world need to start adopting laws to govern this technology in 2019.  "Like many technologies with multiple uses, facial recognition values careful attention to ensure its use is closely aligned with our values and principles and prevents misuse and harmful effects," Kent Walker, Senior Vice President of Global Affairs at Google, said in a blog post on Friday.  "These principles guide our decisions on what types of qualities to build and research to pursue. As one instance, facial recognition technology has advantages in areas like new assistive technologies and resources to help find missing men, with much more promising applications on the horizon," he added.  The organization, Smith said, would start embracing principles to control the issues surrounding recognition technology.  At a time when pressure is mounting on technology companies to use recognition technology with care to avoid its misuse, Google has said it will not offer you the technology for now. According to Walker, Google has long been dedicated to the responsible development of AI. "Unless we act, we risk waking up five years from now to find that facial recognition solutions have spread in a way that exacerbates social issues," cautioned Smith in a blog post. Toeing Microsoft's lineup which has asked governments throughout the world to regulate this particular technology, Google said recognition merits careful consideration. "The time for action has arrived," he stated, adding that the sector needs to also exercise restraint whilst using this technology. Microsoft is one of many companies playing a role in developing facial recognition technologies.   Read the full article

Blog #3: Biometrics: Facial Recognition Technology Pros and Cons

In this technology-oriented era, security technologies are advancing that made person identification more advanced and secure, and one of those that will be further discussed here is biometrics, which according to WhatIs.com, is the measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral characteristics of a person. One of the biometrics systems that would be the focus here is the facial recognition technology.

Facial recognition technology is one of the tools for unique identification. It detects human faces, collects, extracts, and stores the gathered data pattern in the database and that data will be used for access control of the user. It is also used in commercial, investigation, and other purposes that enhances the security. It has been said in various researches that it is the fastest biometrics technology because it performs matching of faces to thousands or even millions of face data stored in database in just a matter of seconds! So it’s quite a very demanding technology. Below are the following pros/strength of this technology.

PROS/STRENGTHS:    I referenced upwork.com and biometrics.pbworks.com in this section.

This biometric system improves security measures. This is really an effective tool for identifying faces known and unknown to a business establishment, the system would make an immediate alert as soon as it identifies a person who is unknown, wanted, and/or others. Easily integrated. An establishment doesn’t have to spend additional money in integrating this system with their security software because facial technology is easily adaptable to security systems. Its rate is accurately high! Detecting faces with this technology have never been easier than before because of 3D facial tracking technologies and infrared cameras that makes the identification process more accurate and shows great results. Fully automated and non-intrusive. This technology identifies faces automately not making the person to stop for a while to be scanned, thus making it less hassle and convenient. Sometimes people won’t even notice they’re being scanned because of blind spots of the camera. Time fraud prevention. This applies to companies where it prevents workers from fooling the system by asking favors from security staffs because it uses your FACE to get you signed in. It is cheap. This technology is not that expensive to think of. As long as you have a clear camera and face tracking software, then you’re good to go. Face tracking applications are even available in smart phone app stores, so you just search, install, read the instructions, and face tracking time!

CONS/WEAKNESSES:    This section is referenced in upwork.com, biometrics.pbworks.com, and quora.com.

Processing and storing. Since it extracts and collects face data among thousands of people, then it is a must to have big enough storage on the companies’ database or in your mobile phones. Image size and quality. Since face recognition is an advanced technology, it would also require an advanced camera with an HD quality for it to be more accurate in detecting and matching faces. It would be a problem with those with low quality cameras using face recognition as their password, it may cause matching problems. Also, the person captured afar from the camera may be difficult for the face tracking system to match its data since it would be not clear enough especially if it is zoomed in, losing its clarity. All about the angle! This is also a problem in face tracking techs. The system must make the person face the camera upfront in order to analyze it. Facing on the side or on a different angle makes it difficult for the face tracking system to extract full data about the person. One research suggests that in companies, surveillance cameras must be put in blind spots where people often face upfront without realizing there is the camera. Physical and environmental factors matter. This is also one of the problems in cameras. Face recognition is affected by lighting changes which affects also the skin color and image clarity, the person’s hairstyle, age, presence of pimples, wearing of eyeglass, or makeup, facial expression variations, the person wearing the hat vs. not wearing, and others that would cause the technology be confused. Presence of hackers! Some people who has bad intentions would really find a way to get access by scanning an image through a printed picture covering the person’s face or illegally accessing the database of people’s faces by hacking it thus invading the privacy and lowering the security.

   To conclude, face recognition technology have a very big impact in the economy in terms of security and in its technological advancement evolution. The difficulty in its implementation is I think would be found in the CONS section, which must be given solution and further improve the face tracking technology addressing the disadvantages as possible. With this addressed, it would result to a greater security, more advanced society and further improve the economy.
