Facebook is constantly implementing new methods that will allow people to get a better service when they log into the platform. Some of the innovative ideas that are going to be released in the platform might be more useful than other, but there is no doubt that the Deepface automatic feature is going to have a lot of benefits that come with it, but this could also come with a price.
The Deepface automatic feature is going to create an intelligent system that recognizes the face of the people in a photo and immediately tags them in it. This means that people are no longer going to have to manually tag their friends and family in a photo. The problem with this feature is that it could start to create some problems for people who don’t necessarily want to be tagged when they are doing certain things.
Usually most people who have Jobs at offices are going to ask their friends not to tag them I pictures that show them drunk or behaving like party animals. The same goes for being tagged in a photo that shows any kind of behavior you are not interested in letting people see on their news feed.
Facebook has already stated that this feature is going to be over 97% accurate in detecting the faces of millions of users and tagging the automatically. The ways in which this technology could be implemented to help police stations identify criminals who are wanted is also quite appealing for law enforcement.
It seems that Little by Little people are going to b losing their privacy more and more. Your face will be profiles and automatically detected in every single picture that is taken of you and uploaded into Facebook. This could prove to be a very alarming and problematic situation for a lot of people, but the most important thing to remember is that as long as you are not wanted by the police, you can probably have the option to be tagged automatically only if you want to.
There is still much to be said about this particular innovation at Facebook, but we will be able to find out what kind of results it will bring within just a few months of its release.
With over 400 million photos being uploaded to the network daily, it seems like quite a challenging task to be able to recognize the faces of so many people, but Facebook seems to be pulling it off.
