These 4 Facial Recognition Uses Will Be a Benefit to Your Business
(Business-review.eu, May 23, 2022)
Probably the biggest reason for them all is security. If you are running a high-risk business or feel you need the extra layer of protection, then using facial recognition in your business is a no-brainer. Say if you own a casino and you’ve flagged suspicious people who are out to count cards. One way to combat this is to have facial recognition systems in your casino that will find the person or people you have flagged as suspicious. This way, your security can block these people from entering your premises. It is a great benefit to have and can save you time, money, and the unnecessary effort you would have to spend to remove these people from your property. However, it can also protect you in other ways. You can have facial recognition systems installed in your business in case, heaven forbid, one day you are a victim of a robbery. UK Watchdog Fines Facial Recognition Firm £7.5m Over Image Collection
(Theguardian.com, May 23, 2022)
The UK’s data watchdog has fined a facial recognition company £7.5m for collecting images of people from social media platforms and the web to add to a global database. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) also ordered US-based Clearview AI to delete the data of UK residents from its systems. Clearview AI has collected more than 20bn images of people’s faces from Facebook, other social media companies and from scouring the web. John Edwards, the UK information commissioner, said Clearview’s business model was unacceptable. “Clearview AI Inc has collected multiple images of people all over the world, including in the UK, from a variety of websites and social media platforms, creating a database with more than 20bn images,” he said. Second Opinion: Tired of Memorizing so Many Passwords? Too Bad: The Alternatives Aren't Better Yet
(Yahoo! News, May 23, 2022)
Biometrics are measurements of unique physical characteristics — also including iris scans and voice patterns — that can identify individuals. Signing in via face or fingerprint recognition saves us from memorizing yet another password, and can reduce the risks of hacking and phishing — when online attackers trick users into handing over their passwords. These cybercrimes can cost Americans millions and spread their login information widely. Are biometrics the answer? Many businesses and governmental agencies think so. These systems aren’t yet mandatory; Google, Apple and Microsoft’s password-free approach also includes using device PINs — like the code you might type in to unlock your iPhone — as a password alternative, alongside fingerprint and face verification. But we’re already seeing a troubling creep toward biometrics becoming the standard. Biometric Security Becoming More Affordable, Available for Consumer use
