At a very fundamental level facial recognition is a way of recognizing a human face through technology. Seems straight forward enough, right? Not so fast. For many industries, facial recognition technology is still a gray area, clouded with mystery and mistrust. In this episode of the AI Today podcast, hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer provide an overview of how facial recognition works, discuss the concerns and issues around facial recognition technology, news about how the technology was misused or raised ethical concerns, and pose the question: Is facial recognition technology a technology that is too difficult to get right in practice?
