Facebook Fights Against Facial Recognition on Video Employing AI

by Margot Bafta

Facebook AI Research department created an up-to-date "De-Identification" system that works even for videos.

The development involves deformation of the face, thereby confusing the facial recognition machines. However, the appearance of a person retains natural, and there is a chance to recognize the face. While testing the new capability of AI, Facebook showed the results through images of celebs, and even though the face was changed, one can guess who is it.

Facebook highlighted that this system wouldn't be used in its projects as the purpose of the system is to make an impact on privacy protection.
