A New Tool Jams Facial Recognition Technology
Berlin-based startup brighter AI recently launched a public interest campaign to help solve the problem of authorities using facial recognition technology to identify protesters.
The campaign website, Protect Photo, provides a free privacy engineering service that quickly removes “facial fingerprints” from user-uploaded images. Software scans the original photos and creates new images that look strikingly similar to the originals but which contain an essential difference – new photos have new synthetic faces.
