Podcasts about Facial recognition

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Jake Hamilton, founder of Groundwire and Nockbox, to explore zero-knowledge proofs, Bitcoin identity systems, and the intersection of privacy-preserving cryptography with AI and blockchain technology. They discuss how ZK proofs could offer an alternative to invasive identity verification systems being rolled out by governments worldwide, the potential for continual learning AI models to shift the balance between centralized and open-source development, and why building secure, auditable computing infrastructure on platforms like Urbit matters more than ever as we face an explosion of AI agents and automated systems. Jake also explains Nockchain's approach to creating a global repository of cryptographically verified facts that can power trustless programmable systems, and how these technologies might converge to solve problems around supply chain security, personal data sovereignty, and resistance to censorship.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Groundwire and Knockbox02:48 Understanding Zero-Knowledge Proofs06:04 Government Adoption of ZK Proofs08:55 The Future of Identity Verification11:52 AI and ZK Proofs: A New Era14:54 The Role of Urbit in Technology18:03 The Impact of COVID on Trust20:51 The Evolution of AI and Data Privacy23:47 The Future of AI Models26:54 The Need for Local AI Solutions29:51 Interoperability of Knockchain and BitcoinKey Insights1. Zero-Knowledge Proofs Enable Privacy-Preserving Verification: Jake explains that ZK proofs allow you to prove computational outcomes without revealing the underlying data. For example, you could prove you're over 18 without exposing your full identity or driver's license information. The proof demonstrates that a specific program ran through certain steps and reached a particular conclusion, and validating this proof is fast and compact. This technology has profound implications for age verification, identity systems, and protecting privacy while maintaining necessary compliance, potentially offering a middle path between surveillance states and complete anonymity.2. Government Adoption of Privacy Technology Remains Uncertain: There are three competing motivations driving government identity verification systems: genuine surveillance desires, bureaucratic efficiency seeking, and legitimate child protection concerns. Jake believes these groups can be separated, with some officials potentially supporting ZK-based solutions if positioned correctly. He notes the EU is exploring ZK identity verification, and UK officials have shown interest. The key is framing privacy-preserving technology as protection against "the swamp" rather than just abstract privacy benefits, which could resonate with certain political constituencies.3. The COVID Era Destroyed Institutional Trust at Unprecedented Scale: The conversation identifies COVID as potentially the largest institutional trust-burning event in human history, with numerous institutions simultaneously losing credibility with large portions of the population. This represents a dramatic shift from the boomer generation's default trust in authority figures and mainstream media. This collapse is compounded by the incoming AI revolution, creating a perfect storm where established bureaucracies cannot adapt quickly enough to manage rapidly evolving technology, leaving society in fundamentally unmanageable territory.4. Centralized AI Models Create Dangerous Dependencies: Both speakers acknowledge growing dependence on centralized AI services like Claude, with some users spending thousands monthly on tokens. This dependency creates vulnerability to price increases and service disruptions. Jake advocates for local AI deployment using models like DeepSeek R1, running on personal hardware to maintain control and privacy. The shift toward continuous learning models will fundamentally change the AI landscape, making personal data harvesting even more valuable and raising urgent questions about compensation and consent for training data contribution.5. High-Quality Training Data Is Becoming the Primary AI Bottleneck: Stewart argues that AI development is now limited more by high-quality training data than by compute power. The industry has exhausted easily accessible internet data and body-shop-style data labeling. Companies are now using specialized boutique services with techniques like head-mounted cameras for live-streaming world model training. This scarcity is subtly driving price increases across AI services and will fundamentally reshape the economics of AI development, with implications for who controls these increasingly powerful systems.6. Urbit Offers a Foundation for Trustworthy Computing: Jake positions Urbit as essential infrastructure for the AI age because its 30,000-line codebase (versus Unix's three million lines) can be understood by individual humans. Its deterministic, purely functional, and strictly typed design aims for eventual ossification—software that doesn't require constant security patches. This "tiny and diamond perfect" approach addresses the fundamental insecurity of systems requiring monthly vulnerability patches. In an era of AI agents and potential prompt injection attacks, having verifiable, comprehensible computing infrastructure becomes existentially important rather than merely desirable.7. Nockchain Creates a Global Repository of Provable Truth: Jake's vision for Nockchain combines ZK proofs with blockchain technology to create a globally available "truth repository" where verified facts can be programmatically accessed together. This enables smart contracts or programs gated on combinations of proven facts—such as temperature readings from secure devices, supply chain events, and payment confirmations. By using Nock's abstract, simple design optimized for ZK proof generation, the system can validate complex real-world conditions without exposing underlying data, creating infrastructure for coordinating action based on verifiable private information at global scale.

A facial recognition AI program identified a suspect that was innocent and did not look at all like the person the police were looking for - but they arrested him after getting a warrant (a witness did pick the man out of a photo lineup). The prosecutor declined to pursue the case. https://www.lehtoslaw.com

Your face might already live in a searchable database—and BC's courts just drew a sharp line around what companies can do with it. We break down a major ruling that upholds the privacy commissioner's order against Clearview AI, unpack why “publicly available” doesn't mean “free to scrape,” and explain how a province can regulate a US firm with no brick-and-mortar presence. This is a story about jurisdiction in the age of the internet, biometric data rights, and the limits of consent on social media platforms Canadians use every day.From there, we pivot to a wildfire zone, where a tiny drone met a big legal problem. When a helicopter pilot fighting the Kelowna blaze was irritated and distracted by a nearby drone, the court found that distraction alone interfered with fire control under the Wildfire Act. We walk through the difference between strict and absolute liability, why due diligence matters, and how “no harm done” isn't a shield when public safety is at stake.We close with a sign of the times: 3D printed suppressors that triggered prohibited device charges. Beyond the plastic parts and lab delays, the headline is new criminal exposure for simply accessing or possessing digital files intended to produce firearms or key components. We talk through how Canadian firearms law treats suppressors, why courts imposed a conditional sentence rather than jail in this case, and what makers and hobbyists need to know before downloading a file that could cross a legal line.If privacy, drones, or maker tech lives anywhere near your world, this episode offers clear, practical takeaways: don't assume public equals fair use, steer drones far from emergency operations, and think twice before clicking on gun-printing files.

In today's episode, I sit down with Michael Doherty, founder and CEO of Verifyfaces, to break down how facial recognition can be affordable, fast, and practical without relying on expensive AI. We talk about his shift to facial geometry, turning faces into mathematical data that runs on existing cameras while cutting costs by up to 90%. Michael explains how this approach improves search speed, reduces operator fatigue, and enables real-time alerts for schools, retailers, monitoring centers, and domestic violence prevention. We also cover rare use cases like biometric-triggered emergency alerts and how smarter architecture can prevent incidents before they escalate.

Today's Headlines: Early voting is officially underway for North Carolina's March 3 Senate primary — your reminder that primary season is here and checking your state's election dates is now mandatory civic behavior. The timing matters, because Washington is doing the most: the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is likely to shut down after Senate Democrats blocked a funding bill that didn't include limits on ICE practices. If it happens, the shutdown would also hit the TSA, FEMA, and the United States Coast Guard — just as Congress leaves town for a Presidents' Day recess.  Meanwhile, border czar Tom Homan claims ICE is ending deployments to Minnesota, though reporting suggests those deployments may not have actually ended — or possibly started. At the same time, Customs and Border Protection is moving ahead with a $225,000 contract for Clearview AI, a facial recognition tool built on billions of scraped images, now approved for “tactical targeting” and network analysis.  That mysterious whistleblower complaint involving Tulsi Gabbard also landed exactly where everyone expected: it centered on her burying an NSA report about a Trump associate's call with a foreign intelligence agency. Just as we guessed…last week, that associate was Jared Kushner, and the call reportedly involved Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu met with Donald Trump at the White House, after which Trump publicly scolded Isaac Herzog for not pardoning Netanyahu over corruption charges — while brushing off questions about responsibility for October 7. Elsewhere, X, owned by Elon Musk, is under scrutiny after reports it sold premium accounts to Iranian regime officials despite U.S. sanctions. And finally, Gallup announced its ending monthly presidential approval ratings after nearly 90 years. The last one, taken in December, clocked in at 36%.

Most of the technology isn't new, but it has many local privacy advocates nervous.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are using a new facial recognition smartphone app called Mobile Fortify to scan the faces of both US citizens and immigrants. They point a phone camera at their target and it pulls up the person's immigration status. Previously reserved for use at US borders or criminal investigations, the technology is causing concern among civil rights advocates, who fear widespread digital surveillance on American streets.

We look at the lack of regulation around the use of facial recognition technology by Milwaukee police. We meet a group of neighbors who joined together to try and solve persistent basement flooding issues. We visit a local coffee shop serving up a drink in honor of Bad Bunny. Plus, share a story from our friends at Radio Milwaukee.

Milwaukee police have banned the use of facial recognition technology for now, following a heated Fire and Police Commission meeting. A tech policy shares what the public should know.

President Trump has been knocking down data sharing protections between federal agencies to empower ICE's growing surveillance apparatus. Jason Koebler, cofounder of 404 Media, a digital media company focused on technology, discusses his recent investigations into how big tech is helping ICE to gather data on civilians and ultimately identify, track, and detain undocumented immigrants. 

Over the past few years, Milwaukee police have used facial recognition technology in criminal investigations. But they did so without community input or documented procedures. All of that came to a head in a Fire and Police Commission meeting.

With CCTV cameras on almost every street corner, London is the European capital with the most video surveillance, and facial recognition is becoming increasingly prevalent. According to London's Metropolitan Police, this tool allows them to be more efficient in making arrests. But locals are divided on its implications for their privacy. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Florent Marchais.

As we get closer to the legislative session in February, lawmakers are crafting bills to be put forward and recently facial recognition at supermarkets has been flagged as a problem. Norwalk Senator Bob Duff has been quoted saying he wants changes to state law better protecting people's privacy and nixing the technology. Jim Cameron, author of the "Talking Transportation" column runs in CTMirror, recently highlighted this issue.  For Jim's full article: https://ctmirror.org/2026/01/18/facial-recognition-at-the-airport-and-beyond/

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 1, 2025. 0:30 A National Guard patrol near the White House… an ambush no one saw coming… and a tragedy that never should have happened. We break down the shocking attack that claimed the life of 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and left another Guardsman fighting for his life — and the explosive questions now being asked about failed vetting, failed leadership, and a government that put politics ahead of protection. How did an unvetted Afghan national end up in Washington, D.C.? Why were warnings ignored?And how did rhetoric from Washington’s own leaders help create a dangerous climate for our men and women in uniform? We dive into the policy failures, the predictable consequences, and the growing demand for accountability. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. One of the National Guardsmen shot in Washington D.C. last week died from her injuries. Alina Habba cannot serve as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Between 150 and 200 people blocked ICE agents from making a series of arrests in New York City over the weekend. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 Donald Trump asked a question most politicians would never dare say out loud: “Am I going to heaven?” We dig into the moment that surprised supporters, critics — and maybe even Trump himself. What does it mean when a president openly wonders about eternity? What does Scripture actually say about heaven, salvation, and “being good enough”? And is the real question about Trump… or about all of us? 16:00 Ever meet someone and feel that instant spark—not romance, but that “friendship at first sight” connection? The American Mamas dive into why that happens and what it says about us. From being truly listened to, to recognizing the “light givers” in a room, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share funny, heartfelt stories about connection, intuition, and the people who make us feel seen. A sweet, spirited look at why some strangers just feel like instant friends. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 Is Senator Mark Kelly really in danger— or is this just political theater cranked up to eleven? We break down Kelly’s claim that President Trump “threatened to kill him” and why that accusation falls apart fast. 26:00 Black Friday was booming, Cyber Monday is shaping up to smash records… but behind the holiday shopping frenzy, there’s a warning parents can’t ignore. A new report flags AI-powered kids’ toys that don’t just talk—they listen, track, record, and sometimes spit out wildly inappropriate advice. From privacy risks to safety concerns that sound straight out of a sci-fi thriller, we dig into what’s really hiding inside those “smart” toys on the shelf. It’s eye-opening, a little unsettling, and a reminder that not every shiny new gadget belongs under the tree. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Democrats demanded President Trump release his MRI results—pounding the table, insisting he must be hiding something. Well… he released it. And the results? Let’s just say they weren’t what his critics were hoping for. We break down why the left keeps projecting their own Biden-era coverups onto Trump, how this MRI stunt backfired spectacularly, and what it says about the political instinct to assume the worst. 35:30 We talk a lot about what it really means to be pro-life—and this new report on America’s pregnancy centers is a reminder that it’s so much bigger than politics. These centers are helping moms, dads, and babies in ways the headlines never mention… supporting a record number of families last year. We break down the numbers, the compassion behind the work, and the court battles that could decide their future. 40:00 A new DHS report drops a bombshell: New York City is knowingly harboring thousands of criminal illegal aliens—over 7,000 of them. No arrests, no cooperation, just a sanctuary system shielding people who’ve committed crimes against Americans. At this point, we've got to say, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off with a tragedy that turned into a blessing.
