Several months ago, saying that the “cure” that facial recognition offers is worse than the ills it solves would have seemed hyperbolic. But now, the metaphor has become all too literal -- and the medicine it promises isn’t quite so easy to reject when sickness is sweeping the globe. Even as it depresses economies across the world, the coronavirus pandemic has sparked a new period of growth and development for facial recognition technology. Creators pitch their tools as a means to identify sick individuals without risking close-contact investigation. In China, the biometrics company Telpo has launched non-contact body temperature measurement terminals that -- they claim -- can Telpo is near-evangelical about how useful its technology could be during the coronavirus crisis, that “this technology can not only reduce the risk of cross infection but also improve traffic efficiency by more than 10 times [...] It is suitable for government, customs, airports, railway stations, enterprises, schools, communities, and other crowded public places.” identify users even if they wear a face mask. writing COVID-19: A Push Towards Dystopia? At a surface glance, Telpo’s offerings seem...good. Of course we want to limit the spread of infection across public spaces; of course we want to protect our health workers by using contactless diagnostic tools. Wouldn’t we be remiss if we didn’t at least consider the opportunity? And this is the heart of the problem. The marketing pitch is tempting in these anxious, fearful times. But in practice, using facial recognition to track the coronavirus can be downright terrifying. Take Russia as an example -- , city officials in Moscow have begun leveraging the city’s massive network of cameras to keep track of residents during the pandemic lockdown. according to reports from BBC In desperate times like these, the knee-jerk suspicion that we typically hold towards invasive technology wavers. We think that maybe, just this once, it might be okay to accept facial recognition surveillance -- provided, of course, that we can slam the door on it when the world returns to normal. But can we? Once we open Pandora’s box, can we force it shut again? In March, the New York Times that the White House had opened talks with major tech companies, including Facebook and Google, to assess whether using aggregated location data sourced from our mobile phones would facilitate better containment of the virus. Several lawmakers immediately pushed back on the idea; however, the discussion does force us to wonder -- would we turn to more desperate measures, like facial surveillance? How much privacy would we sacrifice in exchange for better perceived control over the pandemic? reported Understanding America’s Surveillance Culture Risk I’ve been thinking about this idea ever since January, when an expose published by the New York Times revealed that a startup called had quietly developed a facial recognition app capable of matching unknown subjects to their online images and profiles -- and promptly peddled it to over 600 law enforcement agencies without any public scrutiny or oversight. Clearview stands as a precursor; a budding example of what surveillance culture in America could look like, if left unregulated. One quote in particular sticks in my head. Clearview AI “I’ve come to the conclusion that because information constantly increases, there’s never going to be privacy,” David Scalzo, the founder of a private equity firm currently investing in Clearview commented for the Times. “Laws have to determine what’s legal, but you can’t ban technology. Sure, that might lead to a dystopian future or something, but you can’t ban it.” Scalzo’s offhand, almost dismissive tone strikes an odd, chilling contrast to the gravity of his statement. If facial recognition technology will lead to a surveillance-state dystopia, shouldn’t we at least try to slow its forward momentum? Shouldn’t we at least consider the dangers that a dystopia might pose -- especially during times like these, when privacy-eroding technology feels like a viable weapon against global pandemic? I’m not the only one to ask these questions. Since January’s expose, Clearview AI has come under fire from no fewer than four lawsuits. The first castigated the company’s app for being an ; the second took aim both at Clearview’s tool and the IT products provider CDW for its licensing of the app for law enforcement use, “The [Chicago Police Department] [...] gave approximately 30 [Crime Prevention and Information Center] officials full access to Clearview's technology, effectively unleashing this vast, Orwellian surveillance tool on the citizens of Illinois." The company was also recently sued in and . “insidious encroachment” on civil liberties alleging that Virginia Vermont All that said, it is worth noting that dozens of police departments across the country already use products with facial recognition capabilities. One report on the United States’ facial recognition market found that the industry is expected to grow from by 2024. The Washington Post further reports that the FBI alone has searches across federal and local databases since 2011. $3.2 billion in 2019 to $7.0 billion conducted over 390,000 facial-recognition Unlike DNA evidence, facial recognition technology is usually relatively cheap and quick to use, lending itself easily to everyday use. It stands to reason that if better technology is made available, usage by public agencies will become even more commonplace. We need to keep this slippery slope in mind. During a pandemic, we might welcome tools that allow us to track and slow the spread of disease and overlook the dangerous precedent they set in the long-term. Given all of this, it seems that we should, at the very least, avoid panic-prompted decisions to allow facial recognition -- and instead, consider what we can do to avoid the slippery slope that facial recognition technology poses. Are Bans Protection? Considering San Francisco In the spring of 2019, San Francisco that outright forbade government agencies from using tools capable of facial surveillance -- although the ruling was amended to allow for equipped devices . The lawmakers behind the new ordinance , writing that “the propensity for facial recognition technology to endanger civil rights and civil liberties substantially outweighs its purported benefits.” passed legislation if there was no viable alternative stated their reasoning clearly They have a point. Facial recognition software is notorious for its inaccuracy. One new federal study also found that people of color, women, older subjects, and children faced . higher misidentification rates than white men “One false match can lead to missed flights, lengthy interrogations, tense police encounters, false arrests, or worse,” Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), . “But the technology’s flaws are only one concern. Face recognition technology — accurate or not — can enable undetectable, persistent, and suspicionless surveillance on an unprecedented scale.” told the Washington Post While it’s still too early to have a clear gauge on the ban’s efficacy, it is worth noting that the new legislation sparked a few significant and immediate changes to the city’s police department. In December, “When the surveillance law and facial recognition ban were proposed in late January, San Francisco police officials told Ars Technica that the department stopped testing facial recognition in 2017. The department didn’t publicly mention that it had contracted with DataWorks that same year to maintain a mug shot database and facial recognition software as well as a facial recognition server through summer 2020.” Wired reported that The department scrambled to dismantle the software after the ban, but the department’s secretive approach remains problematic. The very fact that the San Francisco police department was able to acquire and apply facial recognition technology without public oversight is troubling.The city’s current restrictions offer a stumbling block by limiting acceptance of surveillance culture as a normal part of everyday life -- and prevent us from automatically reaching for it as a solution during times of panic. A stumbling block, however, is not an outright barricade. Currently, San Francisco is under a shelter-in-place mandate; as of April 6, it had a reported . If the situation worsens, could organizers suggest that the city make an exception and use facial recognition tracking to flatten the curve, just this once? It’s a long-shot hypothetical, but it does lead us to wonder what could happen if we allow circumstances to convince us into surveillance culture, one small step at a time. 583 confirmed cases and nine deaths Bans can only do so much. While the San Francisco ruling proves that Scalzo’s claim that “Laws have to determine what’s legal, but you can’t ban technology” isn’t strictly speaking correct, the sentiment behind it remains. Circumstances can compel us into considering privacy-eroding tech even as those explorations lead us down a path to dystopia. So, in a way, Scalzo is right; the proliferation of facial recognition technology is inevitable. But that doesn’t mean that we should give up on bans and protective measures. Instead, we should pursue them further and slow the momentum as much as we can -- if only to give ourselves time to establish regulations, rules, and protections. We can’t give in to short-term thinking; we can’t start down the slippery slope towards surveillance culture without considering the potential consequences. Otherwise, we may well find that the “cure” that facial recognition promises is, in the long term, far worse than any short-term panic.

After Hideo Kojima’s departure from , we all thought that we won’t be able to get the same experience ever again. However, we did know that there will be a lot of other amazing games by Kojima and BOOM! Death Stranding’s trailer gets launched. The gaming world went crazy when they heard about making another game. I remember myself literally jumping off my couch and going crazy. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the game’s release. Konami Metal Gear Solid Hideo Kojima Finally, the game hit the stores on 8th November 2019 and there were massive lines outside the stores. The online stores starting running out of stock on the very first day. Fortunately, I pre-ordered the game and it was delivered to me hassle-free on my doorstep. Sometimes, I admire my intelligence. Jokes apart, the game has been a huge thing even before it’s release. Hideo Kojima had delivered yet another masterpiece. As soon as I got my hands on the game, I installed it in my PS4 Pro and started playing it. Beautiful… just beautiful! The graphics, the gameplay, the story… the everything… just breathtaking. I played for hours and hours, days and days and still couldn’t get enough of that game. The gameplay is so good that I am still playing the game even after two months of its release. Most people stopped playing the game after finishing the main story and I can’t stress enough on how big of a mistake they have made. Well, I think that it is clear by now that I am still playing the game even after completing the main story and thank god I did that because I’ve been finding many things that most of the players may not have encountered. Yes, I am talking about hidden (not literally) things in the game. So, buckle up and ride along with me on this journey of some secrets, easter eggs, and references that you probably missed in the masterpiece known as : Death Stranding Hideo Kojima Cameo Reference In Death Stranding, the very first meeting with Mama is a hilarious yet epic reference to . During a Side Ops mission in the game, Kojima plays an NPC and after he has been rescued, he would ask Snake, “What took you so long?”. This is the same thing that Mama says after meeting the main character in Deah Stranding for the first time. Fun fact: Hideo Kojima’s cameo became a viral meme after Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and that is why Kojima added this reference in Death Stranding. Hideo Kojima’s cameo in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes The Opening Quote Has A History When you start playing the game, there is a quote on the screen by , Kōbō Abe “ ”. The Rope, along with the stick, are two of mankind's oldest tools. The stick to keep the bad away, the rope used to bring the good toward us. They were our first friends, of our own invention. Wherever there were people, there were the rope and the stick While this quote might seem unrelated to the game at first, but it will make a lot of sense when you play through the story. The concept of the quote is in co-relation with both the theme and gameplay. Kojima has been a huge fan of Kōbō Abe’s work and almost all of his work is inspired by that of Abe’s. Fun fact: The Metal Gear Solid franchise is inspired by another poem by Abe called “ ”. The poem was about a man who wore a box around his head. The Box Man Now, This Is Adorable Every person who has played Death Stranding will agree with me on this, BB is freakin’ adorable. But he doesn’t just look adorable... if you play the game on a in 4K resolution, you’ll be able to notice something precious during the cutscenes that include BB. Look closely and you’ll notice that when BB is looking at someone he likes, heart-shaped bubbles will come out of his mouth. This is just a fun and cute thing added to the game by Hideo Kojima. This is what makes him one of the best video game developers ever. PS4 Pro Snake? Snaaaaaaake!! OK, this is not in the game, however, the reason I titled this section that is because there is an easter egg related to this in the game. When you meet Deadman at the beginning of the game, he talks about the voidouts being the reason for turning the surrounding area into a crater and ultimately, causing a Game Over. As soon as he says this, a Game Over screen appears in the background. And guess what it looks like… yes, it looks like the memorable from the earlier MGS games. Even the font is nearly identical. game over screens These were the 4 secrets, easter eggs, and references that I have caught and encountered in Death Stranding as of now. While I would be searching around for more. I would love to know if you guys have seen any of these or any other that I missed. Let’s start a conversation in the comments below.

We live in a unique time, a time when everything is changing rapidly, thanks to . AI is revolutionizing numerous industries in the market. In this article, we will discuss how multilingual model overcomes language barriers and assists companies in accessing the global market! AI Cohere's But before we will dive in, inviting to build with the latest AI technologies at our ! lablab.ai you AI Hackathons The Challenge Problems and limitations arise when humans and machines attempt to communicate using natural language. These barriers can occur due to differences in linguistic understanding, context, ambiguity, and the limitations of current machine-learning models. Consider an example of a person who wants to order pizza: Human: "I'm craving some pizza. Where's a good place to get one around here?" Machine: "You should try Joe's Pizzeria. It's amazing!" In this scenario, the human expresses a desire for and seeks a recommendation for a good place to get one. However, the machine lacks common ground with the human, meaning it does not possess shared knowledge about the local area, including the availability and quality of pizza establishments. Consequently, the machine responds with a generic suggestion, assuming the human is looking for a general recommendation. pizza The lack of common ground prevents the machine from providing personalized or contextually relevant information. Ideally, a machine equipped with relevant location-based data, user preferences, or access to local reviews could offer more tailored recommendations.
