is one of the most sought-after technologies in the field of machine learning. In recent times, the use cases for this technology have broadened from specific surveillance applications in government ...

New information indicates that the decision to discontinue the use of the algorithm may be based largely on cost considerations, contrary to prior reports.

Back in 2001, two computer scientists, Paul Viola and Michael Jones, triggered a revolution in the field of computer face detection. After years of stagnation, their breakthrough was an algorithm that ...

is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more for eight years at The Verge. Face masks are one of the best defenses against the spread of COVID-19, but their growing adoption is having 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. This is the key finding of a new ...
