Facial Recognition is Everywhere, Doing it Ethically with Cyberlink's FaceMe - #80

Facial recognition is everywhere. We have heard stories about all kinds of surveillance, but facial recognition is even more integrated into our lives than you may realize. Every time I access my phone, it uses facial recognition, when you use filters on popular apps, that is facial recognition. Even the camera I am using right now is tracking my eyes to focus. Today we are going to talk with a company that builds one of these systems.

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt here with Sandesh Patel, welcome to another FUTR video podcast.

Today we are talking with a company you might be familiar with, CyberLink. They are know for their video players and video editing tools, but they have recently been building a product called FaceMe that provides facial recognition for various applications, like like authentication systems. We have with us Richard Carriere, a senior executive at CyberLink who focuses on AI, Media and Facial Recognition, and he is going to tell us how facial recognition works and why it is important.
