Thread: Mass video surveillance to change Australia

Oh another topics of interest

Facial recognition has been implemented in China already.
Machine scans your face when boarding plane or train
And you can pay with your face

It's the future. The essence of internet and maybe the future is access and freedom of information

Privacy is probably a thing in the past already. Look at Facebook, your smart phone and smart watch

A friend at ANU is working on such project. Computers now can recognize object. Yes like a human.

With the recent technology improvement, we can store massive data and analyses them without human intervention.
Computers can recognize persona and interlink CCTV footage. But that is retrospective investigation. Maybe a live monitoring is a possibility in the future.

For people fearing their privacy, look have you recently checked your emails? Have you heard about targeted advertisement?

Basically massive purchase data in the past is obtained and analyses using Bayesian statistics and predictions of purchase can then be made based on some traits (variables in the equations.

Such predictions are expressed in the form of targeted ads to you. If the consumer received the ad and make a purchase via the target ads, it sends back a positive prediction signal to increase the success rate in the future (so to speak.

I sometimes received such email. I was thinking about buying a 3/4 socket set and was sent an such promotion email by Amazon. They must have guessed it from my YouTube/Google search data.

Trust me they know who we are, what we doing and what we want already

Professor Jordan Lou viere Does such work for Amazon etc..And I learn from him

You know, you can't take them on a plane with you. I had to check them in as baggage. That was a boring plane trip.
