This is a game changer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It used to be that technology was good enough to say whether two photos appeared to be of the same person. We\u2019ve now reached an inflection point where one input photo can (mostly) be used to find the matching person among tens of millions of people, and where the processing power used is low enough for that service to be free. This is a complete game changer.<\/p>\n<p>The gravity of this doesn\u2019t really hit you until you see the examples, where the photos are taken under radically different lighting and angles than the portrait photos, and sometimes with different facial hair, too. What\u2019s more, this photographer used a freely available photo matching service \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/ntechlab.com\/ru\/\">FindFace.ru<\/a> \u2013 which has <em>already<\/em> imported a vast amount of (all?) photos on <em>vKontakte<\/em>, which is Russia\u2019s equivalent of Facebook, and let a neural network study all of those photos.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2285\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Photopair1.jpg\" alt=\"Photopair1\" width=\"350\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Photopair1.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Photopair1-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 85vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a result, this photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbth.com\/science_and_tech\/2016\/04\/12\/russian-photographer-matches-random-people-with-social-network-photos_584153\">claims<\/a> a 70% success rate of matching random people photographed on the subway, in completely different lighting conditions, with their complete social media profile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You cannot hold back the mere existence of technology. In less than five years, there will be CCTV cameras which list all the people being currently in-frame with their name and social media portrait. Shortly thereafter, law enforcement will use this for automated warrant spotting, RoboCop style \u2013 or will at least very much want to.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Photopair2.jpg\" alt=\"Photopair2\" width=\"350\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Photopair2.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Photopair2-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 85vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In ten years, the service will be available for personal use \u2013 superimposing people\u2019s social portraits and names directly onto your field of view, using glasses or the projection contacts already in prototype.<\/p>\n<p>And in maybe fifteen years, marketers will scream and cry to have the ability to provide \u201ctargeted messaging\u201d, of the kind we saw in Minority Report \u2013 where billboards change in front of you to match your particular interests, or what the marketers think are your interests.<\/p>\n<p>With the technology available as a free service, scaling up the processing power is just a matter of Moore\u2019s Law and throwing money at it. Who\u2019s going to provide the neural network and the photo databases? There\u2019s obviously giants like Facebook and Google, but this would also a new potential monetization for any service where a lot of people have sent photos \u2013 like Tinder.
