8:53Now PlayingNew facial recognition software claims that it can tell by your facial features whether you are a pedophile or terrorist. "Faception" has already been purchased by the Pentagon. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“And you thought the technology used in the movie Minority Report was scary. Per The Washington Post, an Israeli tech startup called Faception is claiming that it has developed analytics software to help government agencies identify prospective terrorists, pedophiles and white-collar criminals.
The basic idea behind the startup is that human faces have multiple characteristics that are reflective of the genes that determine our personalities. Because these facial features are undetectable by human eyes, however, we need advanced software to root them out, which is where Faception comes in.
It’s always good to be skeptical of tech startups, particularly when they are making claims that are this bold about their technological capabilities. Nonetheless, the Post states that Faception has “already signed a contract with a homeland security agency to help identify terrorists,” so it’s apparently being taken seriously by the federal government.”
