Each time you upload a photo or video to a social media platform, its facial recognition systems learn a little more about you. These algorithms ingest data about who you are, your location, and people you know — and they’re constantly improving. As concerns over privacy + data security on social networks grow, Univ. of Toronto researchers have created a computer software algorithm to dynamically disrupt facial recognition systems. Their solution leverages a deep learning technique called adversarial training, which pits 2 AI algorithms against each other. In computing, deep learning is a math technique that uses complex sets of data — trained to find solutions to problems — to process information.
