Apply photo sharing that takes advantage of millions of users' data for facial recognition software

science and technology

Imagine that your photo is used for facial recognition software without getting back to you or agreeing to it. That's what happened. Millions of pictures of the "Ever" image service have been used to develop facial recognition without the consent of users.

The Ever application, launched in 2013 as a cloud-based application for storing and sharing images, has moved to focus on face recognition technology through its new arm, Ever AI.

In order to train its program to be able to provide control and control and actual control of access and digital authentication, use personal images of millions of users without first informing them.

According to a statement from the CEO of Ever, the company does not distribute user images to third parties, but uses them to guide the algorithm, and takes advantage of the built-in facial recognition feature of Ever, which allows users to group images of the same people by scanning their faces.

But the problem is that Ever Album users had no way of knowing that their data was being used to improve the techniques that could then be a monitoring tool, and if they knew it directly, many would probably be uncomfortable with that type of use.
