Episode notes
China's Satellite Image Database
- China created FAIR1M, the world's largest satellite image database, to improve AI training.
- This densely labeled dataset contains 15,000 high-resolution images with 1 million labeled scenes.
FAIR1M Applications and Concerns
- The FAIR1M database is densely labeled, aiding model training, with high-resolution images.
- Its applications include tracking city expansion, wildlife movement, and infrastructure development, but also raises surveillance concerns.
Facial Recognition Disruption
- Two papers highlight methods for preventing facial recognition from working on photos.
- One, "Fox," offers a downloadable tool, while the other explores reducing image error to fool models.
