An Incredibly Accurate Facial Recognition App Is Coming -- Here's What It Means for Privacy

That's the conviction held by Russian entrepreneurs Artem Kukharenko and Alexander Kabakov, whose startup, NTechLab, recently launched a facial recognition app that nearly obliterates the concept of anonymity. Called FindFace, the app has remained exclusive to Russia since going live earlier this year. Soon, though, Kuhkarenko and Kabakov are introducing a cloud-based platform that makes their frighteningly accurate algorithm available to everyone, the pair said in a Skype interview in May. In a practical sense, what this means is that none of us is safe from an always-probing public eye. "In 10 or 20 years, there won't be a place on the earth [where] ... nobody [can] see you," Kabakov said over Skype.
