Facial-recognition algorithms from Los Angeles startup TrueFace are good enough that the US Air Force uses them to speed security checks at base entrances. But CEO Shaun Moore says he’s facing a ...

Face masks are already known to stop the spread of coronavirus. Apparently, they can also make it much harder for facial-recognition software to identify you, too.

Face Recognition Is Being Banned—but It’s Still Everywhere Two dozen cities and states prohibit use of the tech. But it’s on phones and is increasingly used in airports and in banks.

In some cases, face recognition algorithms became 10 times better at making matches than their pre-pandemic versions, the study found.

Because of face coverings prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, companies are trying to ID people based on just their eyes and cheekbones.

New research suggests face masks are hampering facial recognition systems. The algorithms never accounted for a pandemic.

The detection phase of facial recognition starts with an algorithm that learns what a face is. Usually the creator of the algorithm does this by “training” it with photos of faces.

PhD student and technologist Colin Madland recently called out the video-conferencing app, Zoom, on Twitter. Madland claimed Zoom has a “crappy face-detection algorithm” that “erases black ...

Face recognition is rapidly proliferating as a way to identify people at airports and in high security scenarios—but it's far from foolproof.
