Facial Recognition

Have you ever stopped to think what is the first thing you get when you wake up? Maybe it’s a cell phone, that device with multiple cameras that follows you from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep.

In this topic about facial recognition, we talk about the apps that permeate our daily lives, the use of facial recognition tools at immigration borders, the lack of regulations to prevent companies from abusing their technological privileges over civil society, and even some fun ways to circumvent some algorithms.

In this video, people speak Portuguese, English and Spanish. Enable subtitles of your preference.
