Okay so, maybe you've heard there is a Facebook type social network for pets. Now then, the question is will this pet social network also use facial recognition scanners? We know that Facebook is using FRT or facial recognition technologies. In fact there are quite a number of Internet rights privacy groups such as the EFF or Electronic Freedom Foundation who are up in arms over the thought of FRT being used online in this way. We already know that government agencies are now using the F RT against mugshots and databases which have been stored for criminal records.
In many regards this is great, because a sexual predator could easily be caught using a false identity online if they use their own face. If they use someone else's face, they might also be caught, because the face that they used will be that of someone else, and the computer system will know that. Of course, you are probably aware of much of this information, and you are wondering what this has to do with FRT or facial recognition technologies with regards to your family pet? Well, the other day, I was at the pound with a friend who was picking up a dog.
The dog had to have shots, and also identification which cost my friend extra money before he was able to adopt the dog from the pound. My friend was also given a dog tag which the dog would have to wear at all times. But in the future we may not need dog tags because every dog could have their picture taken digitally, and with the use of facial recognition technologies that dog could be identified by the pound, a dog-catcher with an iPhone App, and the owner could be immediately notified, the pet could be immediately delivered to its home.
If there was a dog walking around without a leash, or roaming the neighborhood, the FRT software could spot that dog, and report it to the owner. Nearby where I live there is a dog park, and before a dog is allowed in that dog park their owner must register their dog and pay the $25 fee, but what if they merely took a picture of the dog, and use that as the dogs ID. Then when the dog came up to the dog park the door would automatically open for that particular dog, and not open for a dog which was not registered to participate in those dog park activities?
You may think this is a little far-fetched, but it isn't really considering we have pet insurance, and all sorts of similar services for our family pets in the present period. Indeed, hope you'll please consider all this and think on it.
