Meta’s CTO doesn’t know about Clearview AI

There are companies that are trying to build systems to recognize random faces.

Here Gebru questions the common belief that law enforcement and employers are trustworthy.

• facial bias
  • experiments show that children and adults alike who didn't know any of the faces shown, chose actual election leaders and runner ups of elections to be their leaders
  • China exploits the "white-guy-in- a-tie" problem to win deals.
    • Companies hire a white person with zero experience to wear a nice suit and tie and pose as a businessman who has just flown in from Silicon Valley.

Banning it now because it isn't as good as humans leaves little room for a time when the technology is better than humans. A time when the algorithm's calculations are less biased than human perception and interpretation. So we need rigorous methodologies for testing and documenting algorithmic machine models as well as psychological studies to know when the boundary of machine-better-than-human is crossed.

Swedish police have used Clearview AI without any 'consequence judgement' having been performed.

In other words, Swedish police have used a facial-recognition system without being allowed to do so.

This is a clear breach of human rights.

Swedish police has lied about this, as reported by Dagens Nyheter.

This is more important than most people probably realise. Recognition bias will decide if a person dies or not, when implemented at substantial scale, which isn't far away.

Surveillance capitalism at its worst; this behemoth tries to have the people who own it not make decisions.

Capitalism is like Skynet, an organism that's taken flight on its own, bound to make solipsistic and egoistic judgments and choices.

This is eerily like in the book The Circle where facial recognition is done over all photos and video on the web--including CCTV. No more secrets.
