Your face is becoming a lawless business
Five years ago, people would not be so sensitive to their face information. Today, face recognition is used for electronic payment and identity authentication. Faces are even more important than money and ID cards. Now, anyone who uploads a face photo without filter or repair, or whose face information is leaked by the data acquisition company will worry about the risk.
At present, the face changing app developed by technicians brings more leisure fun to people, but people are worried that the face changing software may lead to the cracking of the payment password. Ant financial services, a financial company from Alibaba group, pays attention to these. The official claims: at present, all kinds of face changing software on the Internet can not break through face brushing payment, because “face brushing payment” adopts 3D face recognition technology and will detect through the combination of software and hardware to judge whether the collected face is generated by photos, videos or software simulation, It can effectively avoid identity fraud caused by various face forgery. However, in August of this year, a video was released. In the video, the staff used the wax figure made by 3D printing to deceive Alipay’s face recognition system and successfully bought a train ticket.
Forbes reporter Thomas Brewster also published an article introducing the process that 3D print heads can successfully deceive smartphone face recognition. He printed out his 3D head shape, and then unlocked the face recognition function of five mobile phones. Four of them were cheated.
In addition to property losses, the leakage of human information may also lead to “being loaned”. According to media reports, at present, many online lending institutions still use manual audit or machine audit with low technical content when conducting “live detection”. Once the public facial recognition information is mastered by criminals, the faces “copied” with these black technologies are likely to confuse the false with the true, so that the uninformed “loaned” bear huge debts. At this year’s “March 15″ party, someone demonstrated that using “live” photos to successfully break through the “face brushing” login system of a mobile phone.
In addition, the risk caused by the disclosure of face information is the loss of reputation caused by abuse by the pornographic industry. At present, many female stars at home and abroad are deeply affected. Previously, deepfakes, a technology flow move with a high threshold, was upgraded by some experts with ulterior motives and launched a civilian version of “fake app”, which is known to be available to everyone, so many female stars were changed to pornographic heroines at will. At home, female stars have the same experience. Many AI sellers have reported that they sell female fleas through the app market. It is understood that at present, using AI face changing technology, from finished erotic videos, customized videos to software and tutorials, manufacturers provide the whole industrial chain from the lower, middle and upper reaches, and some manufacturers even provide one-stop services from R & D, customization and packaging.
In addition, blackmail and fraud also need to be vigilant. According to the Wall Street Journal, in March this year, criminals used AI technology to successfully imitate the voice of the CEO of a British energy company’s parent company in Germany, defrauding 220000 euros (about 1730806 yuan). In the future, if similar deception is combined with face changing video, the success rate of fraud may be higher.
The loss caused by the misuse of the above face information is not alarmist. It is no wonder that the public is becoming more and more sensitive and serious about the use of face recognition technology. It is also inevitable to protest the abuse of face recognition and call for the construction of relevant laws and regulations.
