  A new AI model can mask a personal image without destroying its quality, which will help to protect your privacy.

The article from Live Science introduces Chameleon, an AI model developed by researchers at the University of Toronto, designed to protect individuals from facial recognition technology by creating sophisticated digital masks. Chameleon works by altering a person's facial features in real-time video or images in a way that is imperceptible to the human eye but disrupts facial recognition algorithms. This technology aims to provide privacy by making it difficult for unauthorized systems to identify or track individuals through surveillance cameras or online platforms. The AI model uses adversarial machine learning to generate these masks, ensuring that the changes are subtle enough not to affect human recognition but significant enough to fool AI systems. This development comes as a response to growing concerns over privacy and the potential misuse of facial recognition technology by governments, corporations, or malicious entities.
