Major DoNotPay news! We have built a tool that makes your photos undetectable to facial recognition, without ruining the image. Never worry about dating photos being reverse image searched again. Fight back against Clearview, the government and police! https://www.inputmag.com/tech/photo-ninja-makes-photos-undetectable-to-facial-recognition-software">https://www.inputmag.com/tech/phot...
So how does it work? DoNotPay’s A.I will draw unnoticeable objects into the background of the image, alter the location of some of the pixels (invert) and change the coloring.
The photo quality looks the same (sometimes even better). But the changes confuse the A.I; even an altered photo of Joe Biden will return zero results in Google/Tineye Reverse Search!
Finally, our photos perform something called a “Sybil Attack” on facial recognition software. DoNotPay photos being released will mess with future facial recognition models. The more photos that are released, the weaker the models!
Thank you to the University of Chicago for releasing cutting edge research on this topic that allowed us to create a consumer product. https://news.uchicago.edu/story/new-tool-protect-yourself-against-facial-recognition-software">https://news.uchicago.edu/story/new...
While this product will beat facial matching (reverse image search), it may not beat comparison. It is much easier from a technical standpoint to compare two photos side by side than it is to match a similar photo from the billions available. Over time we will beat both.
DoNotPay “Photo Ninja” is now available. We are in an AI arms race between good and evil. We hope to help consumers fight back, protect their privacy and avoid stalkers on dating apps!
