Latest facial recognition software can identify you even if your face is COVERED, exchanging even more privacy for "safety"

Soon it will be impossible to cover up your face and hide your identity as you engage in a criminal activity, thanks to up-and-coming facial recognition technology. The bad news is, you won't be able to hide in plain view either, just to protect your privacy. As reported by the UK's Daily Mail, the technology under development has already progressed far enough to virtually "unmask" people in most situations. The Disguised Face Identification (DFI) system employs an AI network as it maps facial features hidden behind scarves, head gear, and even fake beards and mustaches to identify people. No doubt the system can be integrated with criminal databases so that flagging of wanted people can be done instantaneously; in fact, such systems already exist for automobiles.
