Meta’s Facial Recognition Expansion

Meta is diving deeper into facial recognition, expanding its test of two tools designed to combat scams and verify user identities. Initially launched in select countries last October, these tools are now making their way to the U.K. after regulatory approval. But given Meta’s past struggles with biometric data, is this a fresh start or just a strategic PR move?

Key Points:

• Two Tools in Play – One aims to prevent scammers from using celebrity likenesses in fake ads, while the other helps users recover compromised Facebook or Instagram accounts.

• U.K. Joins the Test – After discussions with regulators, Meta is rolling out both tools in the U.K., with public figures receiving opt-in notifications soon.

• Strict (On-Paper) Data Policies – Meta insists that facial data from scam prevention efforts is deleted immediately and won’t be used for any other purpose.

• A Shaky Track Record – Meta previously faced a $1.4 billion lawsuit over biometric data misuse and shut down its controversial facial recognition tool in 2021—yet, it kept its DeepFace model for "future use."

• AI Domination Strategy – Beyond this rollout, Meta is all-in on AI, reportedly working on a standalone AI app while aggressively lobbying for its AI policies.

The Bottom Line:

Meta is walking a fine line offering facial recognition tools to fix real problems while battling a history of privacy concerns. Whether this expansion builds trust or fuels skepticism remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure: Meta isn’t just testing facial recognition; it’s testing how far users will let AI into their lives.

AI Researcher Subpoenaed in OpenAI Copyright Showdown

Alec Radford, one of the brains behind OpenAI’s biggest AI breakthroughs, just got roped into a high-stakes legal showdown. A court filing reveals that Radford, who helped build GPT, Whisper, and DALL-E—was served a subpoena in the ongoing copyright lawsuit against OpenAI. The case, brought by authors like Paul Tremblay and Sarah Silverman, claims OpenAI trained its AI on copyrighted books without permission. OpenAI insists it’s fair use, but the legal drama is far from over. And Radford? Well, he left OpenAI last year, but that’s not stopping lawyers from knocking on his door. Looks like AI isn’t the only thing getting trained, so are the subpoenas.
