An algorithm is created that prevents the face recognition system

Face recognition technology, without a doubt, is a useful and necessary development, but with all its merits, it can carry and harm, violating the freedom of a person and allowing you to keep track of him. Especially for this purpose, an algorithm was created that disrupts the recognition system, not allowing it to intrude into privacy.

The new system is built on the basis of deep machine learning, which means it is capable of self-improvement in the future. The algorithm itself uses dynamic methods of destroying the recognition algorithms. To develop a counteraction system, scientists used two AIs that fought each other. One worked to identify individuals, and another tried to break it. The result of this "war" was the creation of a special filter (so far only for photos) that replaces certain pixels in images in such a way that the human eye can not see the difference, but the face recognition system fails.
