Once upon a time, face recognition was still an extremely trusted technology. Thanks to its convenience, efficiency and accuracy in production and life, it was favored by the majority of users. Today, with the continuous acceleration of industrial development and the increasing proliferation of technology applications, face recognition has gradually become demonized, and more and more people have begun to avoid face recognition.
It is understood that some foreign governments, represented by the United States, have begun to ban facial recognition in the past two years. At the same time, giant companies such as IBM, Amazon, and Google have also suspended or abandoned facial recognition-related businesses. The recognition attitude took a turn for the worse. In China, many netizens also expressed resistance and opposition to face recognition entering campuses and communities.
The reason behind this is that the security of face recognition is worrying and it is easy to infringe the user's data privacy. A large number of facial recognition technologies have entered scenic spots, shopping malls, office buildings and other places, which has increased the phenomenon of the public being collected without their knowledge. People’s facial data and personal privacy are increasingly streaking. Both individuals and society are hidden dangers.
So, what caused the exposure of face recognition security issues? In addition to the deficiencies and deficiencies of face recognition technology this time, the abuse and irresponsibility of face recognition by merchants is the main source. During the period of March 15 this year, CCTV named many well-known companies and stores. They generally have the problem of stealing facial recognition cameras and illegally collecting facial information.
Based on this, in order to get rid of the problem of face recognition being demonized, it is the key to strengthen application supervision, enhance technology credibility, and strengthen the sense of responsibility. On March 18, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology initiated the establishment of the "Trusted Face Recognition Guardian Program", which plans to increase consensus and promote the healthy development of the industry through standard setting, testing and evaluation, and industry self-discipline.
It is reported that this "face protection plan" mainly includes four tasks. The first is to formulate credibility standards for facial recognition technology and applications; the second is to carry out facial recognition test evaluation and release the results to actively respond to social concerns; the third is to track and monitor face recognition security and trust issues, and share threats among members Intelligence; the fourth is to hold industry exchange activities.
In general, the "face protection plan" hopes to bring together a group of responsible, responsible, and creditable companies in the industry to "justify" face recognition and prevent technology and applications from becoming more demonized and deified. Through such a group of guardians of face recognition, a healthy, orderly and complete ecology of the industry has been established, so that the development of the industry is on the right track and the risks of the industry are continuously reduced.
