An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks

  As usual there’s no “AI” involved at all. Just statistics on data. The nonstop grifting is further eroding the already destroyed credibility of mainstream journalism.

    It’s using genAI to make best guess portraits of ICE agents, WTF are you going on about?

  I feel like this is going to get non-combatants identified and ruin normal people's lives.

    Are you talking about ICE? Yes, they have attacked many non-combatants and ruined many lives.

    Wait until you hear about the 200 Flock cameras you drove past on the way to work this morning which already ID'd you and reported your movements to all of the 3-letter agencies regardless of whether you were suspected of anything.

    They are already using this or worse. Theil's Palintir is already doing tons of nasty data analytics. Ads in luck Palmer's weapons/surveillance company Anduril, and you have the data input and attack payloads ready to go, all from Chud industries.

      Don't forget about all the info on every American the doge kids stole. They'll be using that too.

      Yes, this just levels the playing field so i think there is little to no downside.

    Yeah this is hella sketchy. It’s MAYBE one step above saying “chat gpt, show me what this agents face looks like” and then using that to try and find a match.

  ICE agents just like all law enforcement agencies, are public servants employed by taxpayers. Good luck finding any other legitimate job you can hide your identity from your employer. If you choose to serve the public, you choose to be in the public eye a d should be identifiable. I could care less if they wear a mask or not, but they should be required to have some other identifiable marking if not like a badge number, or hell, even something to identify that they are agents and not just random kidnappers would be an improvement. As for being harassed for doing their job, if they’re doing the job in a reasonable way, they wouldn’t be harassed. Sure they wouldn’t be able to hit the quotas they’re given, but having quotas for finding criminals is a backwards concept in general and means they have to create criminals when there aren’t enough that are easy to catch. It shouldn’t be easy. It should be thorough, especially if no life is I’m danger from the “criminals”.

    Wait until you hear what empire is doing with facial recognition in palestine, etc…

    All this stuff works on probabilities, even with a fully visible face the model just says it’s really confident hence articles like this - Facial recognition leads to wrongful arrest.

    So the more of the face that’s covered, the larger the confidence interval, or basically the less accurate it is.

    Doesn't really matter if it works, as long as it instills the fear that it could.

  Skeptical about the accuracy, given everything we’ve seen AI do so far.

  • technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨31⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    Yes, the “AI” grift is annoying and completely untrustable.

    As usual, there’s zero “AI” involved here.

    It’s just facial recognition. Just more statistics on data.

    If you read the article, it is stated that there is a team that hand reviews the matches at the end because of course, like all things, no, it is not perfectly accurate.

    If there’s ever a target that deserves it…

    Also, I FULLY support inaccurate targets. This might be the only way fucking brainless, heartless conservatives could ever agree to regulate “AI”.

      they would likely just arrest the person foing it and make it against the law to identify certain enforcers.
