Face-mask recognition has arrived—for better or worse New algorithms can police whether people are complying with public health guidance. The practice raises familiar questions about data privacy.

IBM today released Diversity in Faces (DiF), a dataset of over 1 million annotations that aims to reduce bias in facial recognition systems.

US government tests find even top-performing facial recognition systems misidentify black people at rates 5 to 10 times higher than they do white people.

We can age as little as five years before face-recognition algorithms begin to struggle to identify us as the same person. This means systems that rely on facial recognition may need to get new ...

Our brain extracts important information for face recognition principally from the eyes, and secondly from the mouth and nose, according to a new study. This result was obtained by analyzing ...

Police around the US say they're justified to run DNA-generated 3D models of faces through facial recognition tools to help crack cold cases. Everyone but the cops thinks that’s a bad idea.

As face-recognition technology spreads, so do ideas for subverting it They work because machine vision and human vision are different ...
