The CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, announced significant improvements in his facial analysis software this week. Amazon Rekognition can now identify emotions such as fear and anger in the face of any person subjected to cameras linked to the program. The new functions already allow American police to detect more subtle reactions among the crowd of immigrants who amass at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Human rights defenders began sharply criticizing Amazon, repeating what they did with the Chinese government, which is striving to refine its recognition capabilities with a fine-tooth comb. But Bezos promises to collaborate more intensely with the State Department. Expect surveillance systems even more morally shocking.


Mais emoção na detecção facial

O CEO da Amazon, Jeff Bezos, anunciou nesta semana melhorias significativas no seu software de análise facial. O Rekognition pode agora identificar emoções como “medo” e “raiva” no rosto de qualquer pessoa submetida às câmeras ligadas ao programa. As novas funções já permitem que a polícia americana detecte as reações mais sutis entre a multidão de imigrantes que se aglomeram na fronteira dos Estados Unidos e o México.

Os defensores de direitos humanos começaram a criticar duramente a Amazon, repetindo o que fizeram com o governo da China, que se esmera em aumentar o pente fino nas detecções. Mas Jeff Bezos promete colaborar ainda mais intensamente com o Departamento de Estado Americano. Espere sistemas de vigilância ainda mais emocionantes.
