Here is a comparison we did between APIs from Microsoft Vs Amazon Vs Kairos for face detection. Kairos came out to be much better overall.

No no they turn around once they get to the front of the line and see what theyre doing Then post a warning on Waze as part of their civic duty, alongside a last minute ticket sale
You're not going to do that if you're with a group of friends who aren't as riled about it as you are, it's a band you really like, and it's a big event that you paid a lot of money for.
Everyone sticks together and leaves and immediately confirms the first friend’s warning on Waze, so people know its legitimate
Everybody does this that must be partially why it is so easy to get real scalper tickets at the venue, because so many people cant agree to the terms and conditions if entry
Especially facial recognition using Amazon Web Services, since it might be uploaded to China
Or when in China people are worried it might be uploaded to America
But dont worry about the relative morality, the point is people have to take a stand! And thats how they do it!

You completely sidestepped my point about your friends not being as riled up about it as you.

#54Woo, better facial recognition for all kinds of nefarious purposes! Edit: Dead serious, how will Rekognition positively affect the common person? All I see is a myriad of possible ways government, corporations and individuals have abused camera footage today, and emboldened with better technology these problems are likely to get much worse.
There are tons of benign/helpful use cases for face ID. Your car can recognize you and automatically set your preferred radio stations, seat position etc. Your computer can log you in without a password. Border control can be "scan your passport here and keep walking". An airplane boarding card can be "take a picture with your webcam during check-in and just walk on the plane." Your phone can automatically "press the…
There are tons of benign/helpful use cases for guns, for knives and for explosives. This attitude is purposefully ignorant.
When developing new technologies, you need to ask not just "what good can this do" but most importantly "how can this be misused". Sometimes the bad stuff that you can do is way, way, way worse than the good.
Great that Microsoft has an ethics board. Facebook has an ethics board. How's that working out for the ethnically cleansed people in Asia?

#55I went to a concert the other night, and they where scanning driver licenses and running facial recognition on everyone entering. It was very disconcerting. It is clear to me that we need new laws to protect against the misuse of this technology. Laws that apply to everyone without exceptions for law enforcement. If we don't I fear we are headed towards a 1984 type of future.
That’s... actually a reasonable way to combat ticket scalping.
The "reasonable" claim is made here without considering all factors. If I have the guarantee that the driver license & facial recognition data are not uploaded or kept beyond the required time frame (which should be less than a couple of hours) and are not integrated into other datasets, then this solution may be "reasonable". But that's a big assumption. Is there information on where the collected data goes and what happens with it?

Its the rule, everyone goes in or nobody goes in
and having a unified front on Waze if one friend posts the warning on it, everyone has to post confirmations on the warning and leave
Its friend code to leave, but they just have to not invite you next time if they secretly disagreed

It's pretty obvious that @gammateam is being sarcastic here (in this post and the follow up responses to yours). You may want to quit responding.
