It Began As a Military Experiment
2017
It Began As a Military Experiment compiles ten portraits from a pioneering facial-recognition database of the Defense Advance Research Agency. Today sophisticated facial recognition technologies calculate a unique "barcode" for each individual, which can serve many purposes. Facebook uses facial recognition to auto tag friends and family in pictures. But similar kinds of databases could allow authorities to identify all protesters at antigovernment rallies, for example, or companies to identify users of a particular product. |
