Netease Technology News? September 13 news, "Washington Post" article stated that whether we are ready, through the tenth anniversary version of the iPhone X, Apple will bring us into the era of facial recognition.
The following is the main content of the article:
For a long time, once face recognition technology appeared, it would make people feel a bit creepy. Books, movies, and TV shows portray this technology as a tool for monitoring and social control - making you stare at other invisible people and serving their purpose, not your own.
Apple today sought to reverse that situation by launching the long-awaited 10th anniversary version of the iPhone, the iPhone X. It uses facial recognition technology to replace the fingerprint sensor that previous iPhones used to unlock, while still preventing others from unlocking the phone without the user's knowledge.
At the conference, Apple said that what the user needs to do is look at the iPhone X. It will automatically recognize that you are a registered user - even if you wear glasses or hats, or leave a new beard.
Although this technology is not a completely new technology - several Android smartphones already offer similar functionality - it is still novel. Apple's hug may be a critical point where face recognition technology is widely used in many new areas of people's daily life - such as when shopping or chatting with friends, or when entering a building or starting a car, just look at it. At a glance, there is no need to turn the key.

Experts' concerns
Many forms of surveillance - cell phone location tracking, social media analysis, and the CIA (Cabinet's) ability to remotely turn on microphones on personal smart TVs - are all derived from this type of popular consumer technology. In general, it is not until the leaked documents and investigation reports are exposed that people know how popular those technologies are among users.
"One of the great dangers of facial recognition technology is that we are staring no matter where we go or what we do." Jay Stanley, Senior Policy Analyst, ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Program (Jay Stanley) pointed out that "acceptable use may make those less acceptable uses easier to accept."
The potential of widely deployed facial recognition systems is particularly alarming for privacy professionals who warn that our future facial and other biometric information will be used to monitor our every move, our political activities, our religious life. Even our romance.
At the same time, the latest research from Stanford University states that with the aid of artificial intelligence, a series of privacy can be interpreted through advanced analysis of facial images, including sexual orientation.
“We have only one face,†said Clare Garvie of the Georgetown University’s privacy and technology center. “The more we accept about facial recognition, the more complacent we may become.†Gavi Also the author of Perpetual Line-Up, a 2016 report on the face recognition database collected by the government.

Protect personal data
Apple’s facial recognition technology launched on Tuesday aims to allow iPhone X users to use it for themselves, serve their own purposes, and use it only when they want to use it. If they want to, they can always be replaced with a password to unlock.
This also earned the company some recognition from some privacy experts. They pointed out that the iPhone X will store the facial analysis data on the device instead of transmitting to the network (the data on the network may be intercepted), and it is not collecting data into the database, so it can avoid hackers, spies or Law enforcement agencies get a lot of people's facial information.
Android devices using face recognition also store data on the device, but hackers have already demonstrated that some of these systems can be deceived by the user's photos - Apple said this will not happen to iPhone X.
Many privacy experts also believe that facial recognition technology is a relatively simple, secure, and reliable method for verifying the identity of smart phone users and helps protect a large amount of personal data stored in the device. Positive privacy effects.
"I don't think we should be reflexive as opposed to facial recognition. The question is, what form does it take and who will benefit?" said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. " From the consumer's point of view, facial recognition has good uses and bad uses."
A 2016 Georgetown University study found that as a result of the database of people arrested or convicted and the presence of personnel files holding driving licenses, passports, and visas, personal photos of half of adults in the United States have been admitted to the federal government. The facial recognition system of the state government, or the local government,
Privacy experts have made efforts to curb the expansion of such databases. For example, some states prohibit law enforcement officers from using a driver's license for face recognition searches. Experts also seek to limit the use of those databases and the occasions.
In addition, they sought to draw attention to the two major technology giants Facebook and Google’s large commercial databases, which in some cases used facial recognition technology to identify people in user-uploaded photos.

Apple seems to solve the technical obstacle
Another factor that slows down the popularity of facial recognition technology is the ability to accurately analyze the huge technical challenges of the face in less than ideal situations. Whether it's wearing a hat or glasses, or just looking at the camera from a more bizarre point of view, it has long been difficult to accurately identify facial recognition systems – as well as those with darker skin – resulting in analytical errors.
Apple's system seems to solve these technical problems: iPhone X users need to allow the system to "input" their faces and turn their heads to allow the system to more fully capture their facial contours. After completing the entry, users only need to look at the screen to unlock.
The facial recognition system is called the TrueDepth camera system and includes a front camera, a proximity sensor, an infrared camera, and a spot projector that emits more than 30,000 invisible infrared spots to the user's face for measurement. . The device will integrate all the available data to form what Philip W. Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of global marketing, calls “a mathematical model of your faceâ€.
"The probability that any person will be able to unlock your iPhone X with their face is about one millionth," Schiller said.
In addition, one of the most controversial issues in recent years has been the power of law enforcement agencies to obtain data on equipment. In 2014, the United States Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement agencies must have search warrants to be able to seize and inspect people's smart phones.
Nate Cardozo, a senior attorney with the Electronic Outpost Foundation (EFF) of the San Francisco Civil Liberties Organization, said that the police still need another court order to be able to require the owner to unlock the device.
Some people are very worried that the application of facial recognition to equipment safety will weaken people's resistance to other uses of the technology. Cardozzo is relatively unconcerned about this issue. "People are very clear about using biometrics for their personal purposes. That's part of becoming a database. Your own information may be used differently for improper purposes."
