Deep dives

The end of privacy with AI used to docs people in viral videos

A viral account is using facial recognition technology to reveal the personal information of random people in viral videos, which raises concerns about the lack of privacy in public spaces. The account selects its targets from viral videos, uses facial recognition software to identify them, and then leaks their personal information, including their full names, social media profiles, and sometimes even their employers. This highlights the potential dangers of sharing content online and the need for individuals to be cautious about what they post and how they protect their personal information.
