Incredible. #UK Plans AI Experiment on Children Seeking Asylum

"Experimenting with unproven technology to determine whether a child should be granted protections they desperately need and are legally entitled to is cruel and unconscionable.

Facial age estimation has not been independently evaluated in real-world settings. Companies that tested their technology in a handful of supermarkets, pubs, and on websites set them to predict whether a person looks under 25, not 18, allowing a wide error margin for algorithms that struggle to distinguish a 17-year-old from a 19-year-old..

AI face scans were never designed for children seeking asylum, and risk producing disastrous, life-changing errors. Algorithms identify patterns in the distance between nostrils and the texture of skin; they cannot account for children who have aged prematurely from trauma and violence. They cannot grasp how malnutrition, dehydration, sleep deprivation, and exposure to salt water during a dangerous sea crossing might profoundly alter a child’s face.."

Manston Detention Centre, in Kent, United Kingdom, is used by the government to detain and process people seeking asylum. In 2022 and in 2024, the government allegedly detained unaccompanied refugee children there by purposefully misclassifying them as adults. Ramsgate, England, June 24, 2025.

A 3 months #research around #patterns to bypass #cctv #facerecognition.
Tested with #opencv.
Project done in the #fabricademy, a programme over textile and technology, at the @greenfabric node.

I knitted 2 kimonos on a #kniterate, a semi-industrial #machineknitting with deadstock yarns. The 3rd one is a deadstock fabric whose pattern was already a working #camouflage for opencv.

The project is fully documented here:
class.textile-academy.org/2024

Concerning cctv surveillance, France has recently gone crazy over it... it seems like they want to recognise logos from organisations in protests and faces associated with them... does someone know an opencv algorithm to detect specific images? Or does it necessarily go through machine learning?

Hello Mastodon,
Here's my #introduction post.

Former #graphicdesigner and #webdeveloper at #OpenSourcePublishing, I gradually turned my practice to #textiledesign. Still exploring free and open source software, programming but in relation to many textile techniques.

My main practice is #knitting, #machineknitting and #visiblemending. But I love to explore any #fiberarts related #technique.

In 2020, I joined the #textile #fablab @GreenFabric in #brussels where I like to build / #hack #machines for textile.

In 2024, I joined the #Fabricademy programme ( #textile and #technology) where I made digitally knitted garments to bypass #CCTV #facerecognition.
I am now a Fabricademy instructor!

A little picture as intro: My Mother was a Computer. Title borrowed from media theoretician Katherine N. Hayles. This is the opening piece of a series of knitted portraits of women who played a major role in the history of computing.

I'm super happy to find back my old family here in Lurk/Mastodon (you know who you are :) ). 💜

Knitted piece in black and white. The text "my Mother is a computer" is written on it.

Sports stadiums in the U.S., are turning increasingly towards facial recognition in order to save time, and therefore money, by shortening lines at stadium entrances.

From MLB to the NFL, fans across the country are being offered express entry into sports grounds if they opt in to the technology. However, privacy advocates argue that these kinds of surveillance tools are never totally secure, make it easier for police to get information about fans, and fuel “mission creep” where surveillance technology becomes more common, or even required. @WIRED has more.

Remember kids, somebody's gotta pay real money for all those "AI" #data centers in the long run.

Because it's highly improbable that spending akin to the Netherlands's #energy bill to comment on #Wimbledon is going to cut it.

*but every great whatanot* - no, nuclear for homeowners stopped at clocks |: I know :|.
We never really had fridges to which term blast radius might have been applied.

Police used DNA and probability software to invent a likely face for a subject and then put that fake face through face recognition software. This is policing done by pure chance and it's beyond dangerous. eff.org/deeplinks/2024/03/cops #facerecognition

Electronic Frontier Foundation · Cops Running DNA-Manufactured Faces Through Face Recognition Is a Tornado of Bad IdeasIn keeping with law enforcement’s grand tradition of taking antiquated, invasive, and oppressive technologies, making them digital, and then calling it innovation, police in the U.S. recently combined two existing dystopian technologies in a brand new way to violate civil liberties.

The Government Accountability Office has put out a report that confirms our worst fears about government use of face recognition. It's unaccountable, nontransparent, and being used without any training whatsoever. That's why it needs to be banned.

If you think Border Patrol's surveillance machine at the U.S.-Mexico border is extreme, wait until you learn about the Sentinel Tower that the State of Chihuahua is building in Ciudad Juarez.

Electronic Frontier Foundation · The State of Chihuahua Is Building a 20-Story Tower in Ciudad Juarez to Surveil 13 Cities–and Texas Will Also Be WatchingChihuahua state officials and a notorious Mexican security contractor broke ground last summer on the Torre Centinela (Sentinel Tower), an ominous, 20-story high-rise in downtown Ciudad Juarez that will serve as the central node of a new AI-enhanced surveillance regime. With tentacles reaching into 13 Mexican cities and a data pipeline that will channel intelligence all the way to Austin, Texas, the monstrous project will be unlike anything seen before along the U.S.-Mexico border.

My Life With Face Blindness

When your brain won’t let you recognize people, how do you navigate the world?
This spring, I found out that I have a rare neurological disorder known as prosopagnosia, or face blindness. This discovery sent me on a journey that I thought, at first, would be a lark. After all, I’m a happy, successful adult — who cares if my brain isn’t quite like everyone else’s?
