This strange AI "camouflage" can stop you being identified by facial detection software

The scope for facial detection to be used for large-scale surveillance is only just beginning to be realised. In September this year, Moscow hooked up its CCTV network to a facial-recognition system. New York is planning to roll out facial detection across bridges and tunnels. London's facial-recognition database has been criticised for going "far beyond custody purposes", and China is taking all of this to a whole new level of total state surveillance. But the invention of the ship also led to the invention of the pirate.
