▻https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/clearview-ai-local-police-facial-recognition

A BuzzFeed News investigation has found that employees at law enforcement agencies across the US ran thousands of Clearview AI facial recognition searches — often without the knowledge of the public or even their own departments. A controversial facial recognition tool designed for policing has been quietly deployed across the country with little to no public oversight. According to reporting and data reviewed by BuzzFeed News, more than 7,000 individuals from nearly 2,000 public agencies (...)

Facebook Scraped 1 Billion Pictures From Instagram to Train Its A.I. — But Spared European Users

The team purposely excluded Instagram images from the European Union, likely because of GDPR Facebook researchers announced a breakthrough yesterday : They have trained a “self-supervised” algorithm using 1 billion Instagram images, proving that the algorithm doesn’t need human-labeled images to learn to accurately recognize objects. Typically, the most accurate image recognition algorithms require humans to label images as containing dogs, horses, people, or any other subject, and then the (...)

Could Google and Facebook’s algorithms be next ? In 2019, an investigation by NBC News revealed that photo storage app Ever had quietly siphoned billions of its users’ photos to train facial recognition algorithms. Pictures of people’s friends and families, which they had thought were private, were in fact being used to train algorithms that Ever then sold to law enforcement and the U.S. military.

For at least 10 years, which is how long I’ve been reporting on privacy, people have worried about a facial recognition app that could end anonymity. I joined The New York Times as a technology reporter in July, but back in 2011, when I was reporting for Forbes Magazine, I attended a workshop at the Federal Trade Commission, where attendees discussed the rules that should govern the commercial development of facial recognition. Everyone agreed that companies should not make an application (...)
