英文简介:
The story of a small AI company that gave facial recognition to law enforcement, billionaires, and businesses, threatening to end privacy as we know it “The dystopian future portrayed in some science-fiction movies is already upon us.
Kashmir Hill’s fascinating book brings home the scary implications of this new reality.
“–John Carreyrou, author of Bad Blood Longlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award New York Times tech reporter Kashmir Hill was skeptical when she got a tip about a mysterious app called Clearview AI that claimed it could, with 99 percent accuracy, identify anyone based on just one snapshot of their face.
The app could supposedly scan a face and, in just seconds, surface every detail of a person’s online life: their name, social media profiles, friends and family members, home address, and photos that they might not have even known existed.
If it was everything it claimed to be, it would be the ultimate surveillance tool, and it would open the door to everything from stalking to totalitarian state control.
Could it be true? In this riveting account, Hill tracks the improbable rise of Clearview AI, helmed by Hoan Ton-That, an Australian computer engineer, and Richard Schwartz, a former Rudy Giuliani advisor, and its astounding collection of billions of faces from the internet.
The company was boosted by a cast of controversial characters, including conservative provocateur Charles C.
Johnson and billionaire Donald Trump backer Peter Thiel–who all seemed eager to release this society-altering technology on the public.
Google and Facebook decided that a tool to identify strangers was too radical to release, but Clearview forged ahead, sharing the app with private investors, pitching it to businesses, and offering it to thousands of law enforcement agencies around the world.
Facial recognition technology has been quietly growing more powerful for decades.
This technology has already been used in wrongful arrests in the United States.
Unregulated, it could expand the reach of policing, as it has in China and Russia, to a terrifying, dystopian level.
Your Face Belongs to Us is a gripping true story about the rise of a technological superpower and an urgent warning that, in the absence of vigilance and government regulation, Clearview AI is one of many new technologies that challenge what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once called “the right to be let alone.

中文简介:
一家小型人工智能公司的故事，该公司为执法部门、亿万富翁和企业提供面部识别功能，威胁要终结我们所知道的隐私“一些科幻电影中描绘的反乌托邦未来已经来临。
克什米尔山这本引人入胜的书让我们明白了这一点约翰·卡雷鲁 (John Carreyrou)，《Bad Blood》一书的作者Clearview AI 声称它可以仅根据一张面部快照来识别任何人，准确率高达 99%。
该应用程序据称可以扫描一张脸，并在短短几秒钟内显示一个人在线生活的每一个细节：他们的名字、社交媒体资料、朋友和家人、家庭住址以及他们可能不知道存在的照片。
如果它真像它声称的那样，那么它将成为终极监视工具，并且它将为从跟踪到极权主义国家控制的一切事物打开大门。
这是真的吗？在这篇引人入胜的报道中，希尔追踪了由澳大利亚计算机工程师 Hoan Ton-That 和前鲁迪·朱利安尼顾问理查德·施瓦茨 (Richard Schwartz) 领导的 Clearview AI 不可思议的崛起，以及其从互联网上收集的数十亿张面孔的惊人数据。
该公司得到了一批有争议人物的推动，其中包括保守派煽动者查尔斯·C·约翰逊(Charles C. Johnson)和亿万富翁唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的支持者彼得·泰尔(Peter Thiel)——他们似乎都渴望向公众发布这项改变社会的技术。
谷歌和 Facebook 认为识别陌生人的工具过于激进而无法发布，但 Clearview 继续前进，与私人投资者分享该应用程序，向企业推销它，并将其提供给世界各地数千个执法机构。
几十年来，面部识别技术一直在悄然变得更加强大。
这项技术已经在美国用于错误逮捕。
如果不受监管，它可能会将警务范围扩大到可怕的反乌托邦水平，就像中国和俄罗斯那样。
《你的脸属于我们》是一个扣人心弦的真实故事，讲述了一个技术超级大国的崛起，并发出了紧急警告：在缺乏警惕和政府监管的情况下，Clearview AI 是挑战最高法院法官 Louis Brandeis 曾经所说的众多新技术之一“不受干扰的权利。
