(via http://www.pcworld.com by Sarah Jacobsson Purewal, PCWorld )Several months ago I wrote an article called "Why Facebook Facial Recognition is Creepy." It was sparked by a feature Facebook had just rolled out to people--facial recognition, or the ability to identify people in photos.
In my article, I argued that Facebook's new feature was creepy--not because of how Facebook was using it, but because of the implications such a technology has for the future of privacy. Sure, the technology has been around for awhile--and many companies have been developing it--but what scares me the most about Facebook in particular is its incredibly vast archive of user photos from which to draw.
Facial recognition technology, on its face (excuse the pun), isn't that scary--because it can't be seriously developed without an exhaustive archive of photos. Google has said that facial recognition technology is creepy--but even Google using and developing facial recognition technology wouldn't be all that worrisome, because Google doesn't have an extensive archive of tagged user photos, just begging to be tapped into.
Well, let me say right now that I told you so.
According to Mashable, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University recently proved that Facebook's vast photo archive can be used to identify people on the street. Yes, in real life. Yes, we can totally use Facebook's archive to identify people in real life, from photos on the web.
