Way easier than having them wear an armband.

Israel is the type of control-heavy far-right state other dictators wish they could govern, and it's made possible by Western money and technology (I was going to name just the US but my country of Canada, among others, is not blameless either). This news also sucks because there's no way that tech is staying in Israel only. Citizens of the world better brace for convictions via AI facial recognition.

"Our computer model was able to reconstruct this image of the defendant nearly perfectly. It got the hands wrong and one eye is off-center, but otherwise that's clearly them committing the crime."

It will be in Israel soon too. Netanyahu is using this genocide to cement a dictatorship by claiming it's all necessary to fight the war, but it's not really believed that he'll take his special war powers away from himself once it's over. He's already tried to destroy the judiciary. Make no mistake, genocide is not the only way he's taking pages out of Hitler's playbook.

While the US and the USSR scrambled for Nazi scientists post WWII for their Air and Space programs, it seems that Israel was grabbing a different kind of Nazi for consorting work.

Photoprism on default settings merged like 5 people into one because it was all trained on a predominant NA population.

Google photos has had similar results even with tuning the algorithm.

So best case they throw innocent people in jail without trial and worst case they just continue to shoot innocent people anyway.

I see that the deadline for skynet in 2029 is more realistic every day

This is all sorts of fucked up and wrong but lets face it... it's far from the worst thing happening in Gaza right now.

The west is supporting Israel commit genocide in Gaza so that they will acquire better battleground tested surveillance technology.

Facial Recognition is not ready for this level of use unless you're just looking to create chaos, lock up innocent people, and generally create more enemies. But then they currently have a torture and release program so they're familiar with that already.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports.

The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

Corsight, which has boasted that its technology can accurately identify people even if less than 50 percent of their face is visible, used these photos to build a facial recognition tool Israeli officers could use in Gaza.

To further build out its database — and identify potential targets — the Israeli military set up checkpoints equipped with facial recognition cameras along major roads Palestinian used to flee south.

One officer told the Times that Google Photos could identify people even when only a small portion of their face was visible, making it better than other tools, including Corsight.

According to the Forbes report, Corsight’s technology was able to take images of people “whose features had been impacted by physical trauma, and find a match amongst photos sent in by concerned family members.”
