@caoimheile: bit of a long one but this is genuinely starting to change how I move through the world. facial recognition is being built into more and more everyday systems, and when your face doesn’t work the way the technology expects it to, suddenly neither do they. I know I’m not the only person with facial difference, nerve damage or asymmetry running into this. it’s scary how quickly “prove you’re you” is becoming something decided by a computer. and right now, mine keeps deciding I’m not me. #FacialDifference #FacialRecognition #AI #fyp
A remember Molly Burke who is blind talking about how everything is touch screen now so you can’t navigate buttons by feel anymore. Advances aren’t advances if they are leaving so many people behind.

I saw a gentleman with a speech impediment struggle on the phone because they had an ai assistant on the other end that wouldn’t understand him. It’s not okay

i wonder if, in a way, this is another form of eugenics? seeing as people who have disabilities, or the elderly are essentially nonexistent, as they are being locked out.
it just feels super dystopian and like an attempt to create a "normal" society with "normal" people 😕

Im east asian with really thick monolids. Without makeup and me not putting in effort to open my eyes stupid wide, most ai systems recognize my face as having my eyes closed. I normally cannot go thru face id check areas because of this and its been annoying because it also just feels like racism? Eugenics?? After hearing that ai is going to be implemented into cars to detect when ur too sleepy etc i realized oh wow i cant own a new car because its going to think my eyes are just permanently closed

Vulva Vigilante :
same happen to the elderly. Their faces change, they get fatter cheeks, eyes change with strokes etc …. Also their finger prints sometimes disappear. Been dealing with hell with my elder parent trying to recover bank account and social security id cos it needs fácil recognition and it denies her old face :(

I have taken notice to the fact that AI is ableist asf. They can’t do larger people either. This is another pattern I’m picking up

russell howard talked about how he can’t get through eye recognition scanners at passport control because he has a lazy eye. that was a few years ago. it’s wild how no one is considering that not everyone has the same abilities and access

Looks like an accessibility issue — nothing prevents us from creating a technology that can work with this. Accessible for everyone

I got bangs almost a year ago and 75% of the time my Face ID doesn’t recognize me because I don’t style them the same way every day. Accessibility makes everybody’s lives better

where do you need face recognition? I don't think I've ever come across this issue. I just login to apps on my phone with either a pin or fingerprint or a password

My dad and best friend have severe stutters. The amount of things that they can't access because AI voice assistants refuse to acknowledge their speech is DISGUSTING.

You may want to contact these folks. Research focused on racial bias but what you’re experiencing is part of the the same issue. https://sciencepolicy.hsites.harvard.edu/blog/racial-discrimination-face-recognition-technology
