The advancement of AI has reached a point where it’s starting to get scary. Not only do we have artificial intelligences capable of writing almost anything automatically<\/a>, but they can also create a wide variety of images from scratch or make your voice sound like that of a celebrity<\/a>, among many other functions.<\/p>\n\n\n

But one of the most controversial features of AI is facial recognition<\/strong>, especially concerning our privacy. This week, The New York Times<\/a><\/strong> reports that PimEyes<\/strong>, a public search engine that uses facial recognition to match photos of people on the internet, has banned searches for minors<\/strong> for fear of endangering children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even though the ban is already in effect, PimEyes’ detection system does not work perfectly in certain cases<\/strong>. The AI must first detect that the person’s face in the image belongs to a minor for someone to be unable to search for it online, which is not easy in photos taken at certain angles or with teenagers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

“Coincidentally,” this protection system was implemented just a week after Kashmir Hill<\/strong>, a writer for The New York Times, published an article titled “Can You Hide a Child’s Face From AI?”<\/a><\/strong> discussing the threat posed by artificial intelligence to children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As detailed by Hill in her article, PimEyes had banned more than 200 accounts for “inappropriate searches” involving children<\/strong>. The situation had escalated to the point where a mother found pictures of her children she had never seen before using this service. However, to find out the source of the image, she had to pay the $29.99 monthly fee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will stricter measures be taken to ensure that no one can search for any image of a minor? And, more importantly, how can searches be restricted for minors around the ages of 16-17? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n\n\n
