Researchers have developed an AI model that gives users a “digital mask” to protect them from facial recognition technology.
In a study published in the arXiv database, a team of researchers from Georgia Tech University detailed how they created the AI model dubbed “Chameleon.”
Chameleon uses a special masking technology to generate a mask that hides faces in photos without impacting the visual quality of the protected images.
Chameleon uses a special masking technique that gives users a digital “single, personalized privacy protection (P-3) mask.” Once the mask has been applied to a person in a photograph, the images cannot be detected by facial recognition tools as the scans will show them “as being someone else.”
According to a report by Gadgets360, while face masking tools already exist, the Chameleon AI model innovates on both resource optimization and image quality perseverance.
To accomplish this,…
