Italian startup released clothes to deceive facial recognition systems

An unusual collection of clothing, called Manifesto Collection, includes various knitted products – hollowers, trousers, t -shirts and dresses.

objects.

The owner of a stylish wardrobe item that came into the field of view of the camera will not be identified at all, or the recognition system will take it for the animal, disguised in the figure (it can be zebra, giraffe or dog).

A special “Competitive Patch” developed by artificial intelligence algorithms was applied to each clothing item to confuse the software recognition in real time and protect the owner’s confidentiality.

The authors of the collection claim that the developed collection of clothing is not only a shield that hides a person from cameras with artificial intelligence systems, but also a manifesto designed to draw attention to the problem of protection from improper use of persons recognition systems.

The goal of Manifesto Collection is to increase awareness of the right to inviolability of private life and protect biometric data, such as the image of the face. This problem is often underestimated, despite the fact that it affects most citizens around the world.

Ignoring the problem can contribute to the infringement of personality rights, including freedom of expression, associations and free movement in public places
