ICE agents just like all law enforcement agencies, are public servants employed by taxpayers. Good luck finding any other legitimate job you can hide your identity from your employer. If you choose to serve the public, you choose to be in the public eye and should be identifiable. I could care less if they wear a mask or not, but they should be required to have some other identifiable marking if not, like a badge number, or hell, even something to identify that they are agents and not just random kidnappers would be an improvement.
As for being harassed for doing their job, if they’re doing the job in a reasonable way, they wouldn’t be harassed. Sure they wouldn’t be able to hit the quotas they’re given, but having quotas for finding criminals is a backwards concept in general and means they have to create criminals when there aren’t enough that are easy to catch. It shouldn’t be easy. It should be thorough, especially if no life is in danger from the “criminals”.
Skeptical about the accuracy, given everything we’ve seen AI do so far.
If you read the article, it is stated that there is a team that hand reviews the matches at the end because of course, like all things, no, it is not perfectly accurate.
If there’s ever a target that deserves it…
Also, I FULLY support inaccurate targets. This might be the only way fucking brainless, heartless conservatives could ever agree to regulate “AI”.
they would likely just arrest the person doing it and make it against the law to identify government enforcers.
This is a European citizen leading this project. And the EU is just as dystopian as America, just in slightly different ways. So, sure they could still just arrest someone, but probably not cooperating with America.
I feel like this is going to get non-combatants identified and ruin normal people’s lives.
Wait until you hear about the 200 Flock cameras you drove past on the way to work this morning which already ID’d you and reported your movements to all of the 3-letter agencies regardless of whether you were suspected of anything.
Yeah this is hella sketchy. It’s MAYBE one step above saying “chat gpt, show me what this agents face looks like” and then using that to try and find a match.
They are already using this or worse. Theil’s Palintir is already doing tons of nasty data analytics. Add in Lucky Palmer’s drone/surveillance company Anduril, and you have the data input and attack payloads ready to go, all from Chud industries.
Yes, this just levels the playing field so i think there is little to no downside.
Don’t forget about all the info on every American the doge kids stole. They’ll be using that too.
They escalated this shit in 2025 no doubt.
This one of those genie out of the bottle situation, we like some of the things AI can do yet it can do a lot of others that are not so good. Regulation won’t work as shown in this case, the work is done in Europe on a US issue. I suspect that we all will start wearing full face masks again.
That would be kind of sick, if masks were more normalized
It use to be said that you shouldn’t be afraid of your government however things have changed. If everyone starts wearing samurai or Halloween masks just to get some privacy it will just be another step in societal decline.
Samurai masks? This dystopian timeline is finally starting to take on some of those edgy cyberpunk aesthetics.
I am skeptical.
All this stuff works on probabilities, even with a fully visible face the model just says it’s really confident hence articles like this - Facial recognition leads to wrongful arrest.
So the more of the face that’s covered, the larger the confidence interval, or basically the less accurate it is.
Doesn’t really matter if it works, as long as it instills the fear that it could.
