Podcast: when your face is your ticket, your face is your ticket, your face could be your ticket

In part-three of this latest series, Jennifer Strong and the team at MIT Technology Review jump on the court to unpack just how much things are changing. This episode was reported and produced by Jennifer Strong, Anthony Green, Tate Ryan-Mosley, Emma Cillekens and Karen Hao. Strong: I'm in Queens in the neighborhood near a massive stadium complex called Citi Field. Right now, everything is locked up and all you can really hear is rush hour traffic. But if you look up, along the edge of the stadium where thousands of fans will, eventually, return, you can see some of the hardware that powers the team's use of face recognition. These cameras are meant to detect faces that have been banned from the grounds–folks like ticket scalpers, people who've run onto the field, even committed crimes out in the parking lot and that system is powered by one of the biggest names in face recognition - N-E-C. It's able to measure things like ears -- and it still works with people wearing masks, hats and sunglasses. And then once you get over to the turnstiles - there's another face system from a company that's known for airport security - called Clear - and that's for ticketless entry.
