AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, juniors at Harvard University, used Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses and AI to demonstrate major questions about facial recognition technology and raise awareness for measures you can take to protect your privacyTwo Harvard University students are exposing how much personal information is publicly available online by combining smart glasses and artificial intelligence to collect that data by just looking at someone.
"You get a video feed from the glasses, and we have a bot that takes those video data and tries to find a face in it," explained Ardayfio."If it finds a face, then it will upload it to this tool called 'PimEyes,' and it will essentially, it's called 'reverse image search,' where you take an image and you find other similar images online. Once you have URLs of those other images, we use an AI basically to try and figure out a person's name.
They posted a video on social media demonstrating the technology by showing other Harvard students and strangers the personal information they learned through the process. The reveals were met with amazement and shock."We were surprised just how much data you could extract now that large language models are the piece that unlocks the rest of the pipeline," said Nguyen.
