Privacy Group Sues NYPD To Release Facial-Recognition Documents

Description

On Tuesday, a privacy group has sued the New York Police Department, to demand the release of documents related to its use of facial-recognition technology. The lawsuit is the latest attempt to force U.S. law enforcement agencies to disclose more about how they rely on searchable facial-recognition databases in criminal investigations. Facial-recognition databases are used by police to help identify possible criminal suspects. It has been under scrutiny in recent years, with fear that it may lack accuracy and lead to false positives. David Vladeck, the privacy group's faculty director said that "The department’s claim that it cannot find any records about its use of the technology is deeply troubling."

  • DOJ Sues First Lady's Ex-Bestie Over Tell-All Book

    Business Insider reports Stephanie Winston Wolkoff is being sued by the Department of Justice. The suit follows Wolkoff's publication of a tell-all about the 'rise and fall' of her 15-year friendship with first lady Melania Trump on September 1. The DOJ claims that the publication of the book was in violation of a nondisclosure agreement she signed. Wolkoff is a former special events planner for Vogue and helped plan President Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017. She was fired from the White House in 2018 after a scandal involving spending on the inauguration. Wolkoff claims that after the 2016 RNC convention, First Lady Melania Trump felt someone was trying to sabotage her. Trump became suspicious when it was revealed parts of a speech she made had been plagiarized from a 2008 speech by Michelle Obama.

  • Your Dog Loves You. Your Face? Not So Much

    Hungarian researchers want to reassure the human companions of dogs that they do care about you. However, they don't particularly care for your face. In fact, CNN reports dogs can't even distinguish the front of your head from the back of it. Instead, dogs use more information from smell or larger parts of the body to identify people. Despite lacking specialized neural machinery to process faces, dogs nevertheless excel at eye contact, following gaze, and reading emotions from faces. The researchers say that as dogs domesticated, they learned that reading facial cues meant survival, even though they lacked a specific region in the brain to do so.

  • AI-based image recognition in assembly - BMW Group Plant Munich

    AI projects in assembly mainly focus on automated image recognition. Here, the technology is used to evaluate images of a component and compare them in milliseconds with hundreds of other images from the same sequence. The system then identifies any deviations from the norm, such as parts that are incorrectly positioned or fitted, or absent.At Plant Munich, automated image recognition allows the production team to identify whether the hazard warning triangle, wiper caps and door sills have all been correctly fitted to each car. Previously, small bubbles in the foil cover of a door sill were often enough to prevent the conventional camera gates from seeing if the logo on the door sill was correct. But now an associate photographs each part concerned in turn and can even use the mobile equipment to check parts that are more difficult to access. Distance, angle and light hardly have any effect on AI evaluations, which reveal within fractions of a second whether everything is in place or not.The AI system is trained by associates. They start by photographing the component concerned from various perspectives and marking potential deviations on the images. This allows them to develop an image database that can be used to build up a neural network for evaluating the images. Evaluations are carried out fully automatically, and the machine decides by itself whether or not a part meets all the specifications.
