< Back Public Perception Of Face Search Technology PimEyes is an online face search engine that goes through the Internet to find pictures containing given faces. PimEyes uses face recognition search technologies to perform a reverse image search. Find a face and check where the image appears online. Our face finder helps you find a face and protect your privacy. Facial recognition online system allows you to search by image. Fourth Portal reporting on PimEyes 25 Aug 2024 The following has been cut and pasted from the blog discussing image search company PimEyes. "Face search technology is transforming retail and e-commerce by enhancing personalized shopping experiences and improving security measures. This blog explores its innovative applications and impact on modern commerce Face search technology is rapidly emerging as a transformative force in our everyday shopping experiences. As retailers and e-commerce platforms seek to create more personalized and secure environments for their customers, they're increasingly adopting sophisticated picture analysis systems. These cutting-edge tools are reshaping how we interact with stores, both online and in the physical world. This blog will explore the innovative applications of face search technology in the retail and e-commerce sectors. Our focus will be twofold: investigating how this technology is revolutionizing personalized shopping experiences and examining its crucial role in enhancing security measures. Streamlined Checkout Process is one of the most profound ways that face search technology is being used. [...] Unlike traditional banking through ‘look and snap’, customers can just look into a camera and use it to verify their identity for the purchase. [...] Face search, along with augmented reality (AR), is helping reshape customer-product interactions. Such services can range from seeing how the clothes or accessories would look on a person by applying it digitally, or even makeup, hairstyles, and others. It employs facial mapping because it can overlay products perfectly onto the body of the customer. [...] Highly developed algorithms enable retailers to pick out certain people, such as shoplifters or those who frequently engage in fraudulent transactions, at the very entrance to the store. [...] Walmart employed facial search technology in some of its stores by covertly integrating with checkout self-scanning interfaces and doors, intended to identify shoplifting offenders. [...] “Smile to Pay” by Alibaba was created in 2017 enabling customers to pay for their meals by using only their faces. [...] “Smile to Pay” has been adopted in other stores and restaurants in China and the system has enhanced security. [...] Public perception of face search technology Face search technology enables users to search for instances of a given face across publicly available databases and is applied in various fields, including law enforcement, art, retail, and media. As this technology becomes more prevalent, understanding public perception is extremely essential because addressing public concerns and misconceptions ensures the responsible and ethical use of this cutting-edge technology and builds trust between technology providers and users."

< Back Rewilding The Internet The internet has become an extractive and fragile monoculture. But we can revitalize it using lessons learned by ecologists. NOĒMA 16 Apr 2024 We Need To Rewild The Internet "Our online spaces are not ecosystems, though tech firms love that word . They’re plantations; highly concentrated and controlled environments, closer kin to the industrial farming of the cattle feedlot or battery chicken farms that madden the creatures trapped within. We all know this. We see it each time we reach for our phones. But what most people have missed is how this concentration reaches deep into the internet’s infrastructure — the pipes and protocols, cables and networks, search engines and browsers. These structures determine how we build and use the internet, now and in the future. [...] Up close, internet concentration seems too intricate to untangle; from far away, it seems too difficult to deal with. But what if we thought of the internet not as a doomsday “ hyperobject ,” but as a damaged and struggling ecosystem facing destruction? What if we looked at it not with helpless horror at the eldritch encroachment of its current controllers, but with compassion, constructiveness and hope? Technologists are great at incremental fixes, but to regenerate entire habitats we need to learn from ecologists who take a whole-systems view. Ecologists know something just as important, too; how to keep going when others first ignore you and then say it’s too late, how to mobilize and work collectively, and how to build pockets of diversity and resilience that will outlast them, creating possibilities for an abundant future they can imagine but never control. We don’t need to repair the internet’s infrastructure. We need to rewild it. [...] We need to stop thinking of internet infrastructure as too hard to fix. It’s the underlying system we use for nearly everything we do. The former prime minister of Sweden, Carl Bildt, and former Canadian deputy foreign minister, Gordon Smith wrote in 2016 that the internet was becoming “the infrastructure of all infrastructure.” It’s how we organize, connect and build knowledge, even — perhaps — planetary intelligence. Right now, it’s concentrated, fragile and utterly toxic."
