5-14-96. FiTi:
Reports on "Photobook," a "visual intelligence" comp.sys
for facial recognition designed by Alex Pentland at MIT's
Media Lab to "identify people who use multiple
identifications to commit fraud."
BT, the US Army, Kodak and Sensormatic are nibbling and the
White House is ogling it to "combat terrorism." Also:
The program could help find missing children, verify
indentification for electronic purchases and track down
on-line pornographers. Although the Big Brother aspect
may be troubling to some, to others it will provide
comforting security.
