Hackers Fool Facial Recognition Into Thinking I'm Mark Zuckerberg

It's not the first time researchers have created methods for subverting computer vision systems. Last year, researchers at the University of Chicago released Fawkes, a publicly available privacy tool designed to defeat facial recognition. Shawn Shan, a PhD student and co-creator of Fawkes, told Motherboard that, based on the information Adversa AI has made public, its technique seems feasible for defeating publicly available recognition systems. State-of-the-art systems may prove harder, he said.
