Over the weekend, bizarre footage of a facial projection technology circulated on social media in connection with the ongoing protests in Hong Kong. The mysterious device shows a headband with a large digital projector, which projects a digital image of another person's face onto whoever is wearing the device. The device was assumed to be a countermeasure to the recent ban on face coverings in Hong Kong. Initially images from the 2017 art project were thought to come from the Hong Kong protests. In fact, the videos came from a 2017 art project called'Anonymous,' created by students at Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands.

This article originally appeared on VICE US. On Tuesday, Motherboard reported that a group of artists and machine learning engineers posted a deepfake of Mark Zuckerberg to Instagram, making it look like he gave an ominous speech about the power the social network gets from collecting user data. According to Facebook, the video was flagged by two of its fact checking partners, which prompted Facebook to limit its distribution on its platforms. This process suggests that Facebook has the ability to mitigate the virality of a doctored video that aims to spread misinformation, at least once it's highlighted by a news publication. But the Zuckerberg deepfake is not part of a malicious misinformation campaign.

I don't really belong here, considering I barely know how to write some code. But I'm not sure where to look for help building a project where I am trying to utilize Human Pose Estimation and/or skeleton tracking. I've got some funding to pay somebody who is interested in helping, now I just don't know where to find that person, so I thought I'd look here. Here is a video that tries to explain what the project will work like in its final form. Again, I'm just one solitary dude trying to make an interactive media project and I'm a bit over my head. So any suggestions on where to find help would be greatly appreciated.

Can artificial intelligence replace the human brain?Will it? "Humans were are not built to spend more than two hours looking at a screen or scrolling through excel sheets. Humans are best at being human. Artificial Intelligence will do the rest." Telling words from Jim Stolze, Co-founder of aigency -- an Amsterdam-based company that recruits AI and humans for work.

"Humans were are not built to spend more than two hours looking at a screen or scrolling through excel sheets. Humans are best at being human. Artificial Intelligence will do the rest." Kind of an employment company run by three humans overseeing 59 robots (actually computers working on algorithms created at the University of Amsterdam to solve problems). Stolze was addressing reporters in StartUp Village at the Amsterdam Science Park on the sidelines of the first World Summit AI in Amsterdam October 11-12.

Artifical intelligence is bossing it over at Tate Britain as the Recognition experience kicks off at the London museum for a three-month residency. The AI initiative will deliver an ever-expanding gallery at it trawls through the Tate's online collection of British material, comparing artworks with news images from Reuters based on visual/thematic similarities. The creative initiative boasts multiple artificial intelligence technologies like computer vision capabilities – think object recognition, facial recognition, colour and composition analysis – and the natural language processing of text associated with images. The results of the experiment will be presented on the virtual gallery site at the close of the project. Recognition was developed by Italy-based comms research outfit Fabrica as a way of applying rational thinking to the subject like art in response to the challenge raised by the 2016 IK Prize for the Tate and Microsoft aimed at improving the understanding of art in the Tate collection.

A recent project entitled'Your face is big data' saw an art school student photograph people who happened to sit across from him on the subway and then he used FindFace, a facial recognition app that taps neural-network technology, to track them down on Russian social media site VK. The FindFace service was designed for users of the largest Russian social network "Vkontakte" and is based on face recognition technology developed by N-Tech.Lab. According to a report by PC World, the Rodchenko Art School student said it was ridiculously easy to find 60 to 70 percent of the subjects aged between 18 and 35, and, along the way, he said he learned a lot about the lives of complete strangers. "My point in this art project is to show how technology breaks down the possibility of private life," he said. More details and photographs from the art project can be found here.
