AI facial recognition
« on: 14 July 2019, 09:00:19 »

Saw an item on Euronews on the future , except it is now.

China is a country well covered with cctv cameras. Couple this with AI and it is very powerful. Misdemeanours like jaywalking get a mark against your profile and can be used to deny you access to public places like railway stations. It doesn't take a genius to realise how else it could be used.

I thought being able to identify a person by facial recognition, at a crowded football stadium was impressive.

Imagine trying to appeal . It wasn't me in the high street outside the kebab shop. Will there be a healthy black market in latex masks so you can be someone else

In 2019 it could well be Big Sister Dave :D :D ;)

Anyway, it will only get worse; facial recognition, voice recognition, fingerprint recognition, embedded micro-chips, full DNA registration, and so it will go on well beyond what we can imagine now. ::) ::)

Welcome to the 21st century - where is that hearse, I want to get off!! :o :o :o :D ;)

If your picture is on Arsebook, where the facial recognition features are process by a Macau based corporation with links to Russian & Chinese intelligence agencies your mug shot will be in their facial recognition databases, so don't look at the camera Pike. ::) ::) ::)

Yes indeed. Any that were around these parts have now gone.  All Mercs it often appears.  Probably due to the fact that of course both Vauxhall and Ford ceased building big saloons, but Merc do so with relish! 8) 8) ;)

Quote
The face of Dong Mingzhu, a president of China’s top air-conditioning company, flashed on a large screen displayed to the public listing nearby jaywalkers caught by cameras. A line of text captioned her photo, saying she had broken the law. It also listed part of her government ID number and her name, but misidentified her surname as “Ju.”

But what the camera actually saw was an ad featuring Dong’s face on the side of a bus.

Back down to earth with a bump. Watched a chilling documentary on the industrial scale of minority repression in China last night “ undercover : inside China’s digital gulag” . Might be available on catch up.

AI played a big part. The programme was set to ethnic minorities and flagged people with angry facial expressions for example. Then police from “Stations” located as little as 200 metres apart could go and arrest them and if need be send to a correction centre. Quite frightening that normal Jan Chinese are ignored by the programme. Those normal Chinese people when interviewed all seemed to agree that the minorities didnt have human rights.

Why isn't the UN protesting and demanding access?

Because the UN knows China could crush it without breaking a sweat?

I also watched the documentary and found it very chilling indeed. It could happen here if we don't retain our healthy mistrust of the authuorities.

China is a country of 1.4 billion people covering the third largest country in the World.

It is one of the oldest civilizations, and has been ruled by many hereditary monarchies, or dynasties, with ruling Emperors  who ruled, often very brutally, over many, many centuries, in an attempt to keep a rather fractious peoples together as one, especially after the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang (Chin), of the seven unified states of China, that he brought together from 259 to 210 BC.

It is a country that has a great, tumultuous, history, with much war and death, whilst enjoying a great trading tradition, and of course infamously attacked by Japan during the lead up and during WW2.  It has gone through many political upheavals as it's leaders still try and keep the population together in political thought and obeying "the system" of a particular time.  It has been through the Great Famine under Chairman Mao that killed, it is estimated, 36 million in 1959-62, that is after losing 20 million during WW2.

Now, I am certainly no expert on Chinese history, but it is hard to judge their political system, that wants to control it's people in anyway it can, with ours.  The history of our, small, Island, with a population of now about 66+ million, covering 209,000 square kilometres, has been shaped by Emperors, Kings Queens and one Lord Protector, then progressively, often via quiet 'revolution' of the people, fighting and striving for the democracy, that we have now. It has taken almost 2,000 years to get there.

Now with China, with that aforementioned population of 1.4 billion, over almost 10,000,000 square Kilometres  the struggle for democracy has, and will, take much longer than for the UK. Change is coming, their World is changing, and they are becoming far more open and capitalist than ever before.  Little old Hong Kong may well just help that process, but like with our country, it will still be a long and painful road to self fulfillment for the individual Chinese. We, the West, MUST NOT intervene in anyway in this natural process, until the Chinese themselves request our help, as Great Britain did, with the Dutch in particular.

What the Chinese do is, and will continue to, disturb us but this is a foreign country, and we should all respect that,  United Nations, or any other involvement would be totally wrong and do no good at all.  They will find their own path,

Also do not  forget that, once everything is taken into account, the USA debt with China is around $22 Trillion!! ;)
