The Risk of Weaponizing Facial Recognition

In a photo of a crowd, trying to find a particular person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Nowadays, facial recognition has become a very useful tool at finding people without having to look through the haystack yourself.

It has other uses too in medicine and even in agriculture. But as with any new technology, it comes with some risks, particularly its applications can easily be weaponized.

David Owen explores the various uses of computerized facial recognition as well as the potential dangers that it poses.

WRONG. The rose doesn't go until his 21st birthday, it goes until his 21st year. Obviously he was not 11 when he was transformed - please note the portrait he tears up and Belle subsequently finds. It's how he looks at the end of the movie, not a child. While a beast his human form has not aged. As for the "10 years we've been rusting" line, the most likely explanation is that the castle has only been essentially abandoned for 10 years. The castle would have been full of people when the enchantress came by, even though there was a beast it would have taken years for people to stop coming. Odds are some knew about the curse and his need to find love and even brought prospects for him (likely in hopes of political gain or money) and thereby the servants had something to do. People to take care of. Until they stopped 10 years ago.

Don't know the mathematics or beast year hypothesizes, but there was a X-Mas sequel (with Tim Curry as the villain). In there I remember a sort of flask-back that does show Prince Adam refusing the enchantress's request. He looks to be between 10-13 years old in that flashback. Just pointing that out.
