Facial recognition tech booms despite accuracy concerns. Police arrests surge while airports and restaurants trial facial payments and passport-free travel.

    This has nothing to do with overfitting. Particularly because our matching algorithm isn’t trained on data.

    Good to know.

    The face detection portion is, but that’s simply finding the face in an image.

        Well, the place you worked at is already there. Those stores - possibly not.

        Also I said that about new and shiny stuff like what they call “AI”.
