Facial Recognition

Background History

While facial recognition has been in the consumer market for a few years, it is now be introduced to the governmental side. For decades police and security forces have used pictures to identify criminals, but current technology allows for more the constant search for criminals and other desired peoples deemed by governments.

How it Works

Currently, there are 5 countries that use active facial recognition technology. This includes China, Japan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Singapore, and the United States of America (particularly California). Uses per country include:

• China
• University security
• Criminal tracking
• J-walking crackdown
• Banking
• Toilet paper theft
• Japan
• Speeding
• Sleeping government workers
• Security
• United Arab Emirates (UAE)
• Border control
• Singapore
• Health care
• Lost travelers
• United States of America
• Airport security
• Banking
• Unknown uses in California

Impacts/Future Growth

It is no secret that facial technology is in the future, favorable of it or not. Many companies including tech giant Microsoft are calling for proper laws to be passed to prevent abuse and misuse of the technology, but as of currently there are no laws of such in place.

Pros

• Helps assist governments in everyday tasks, potentially saving millions of dollars

Cons 

• Strong public outcry against its usage
• Has the potential to be used for the wrong purposes
• Expensive to put in place

Opportunity Rover

Background History

In 2004, the NASA rover named Opportunity landed on the surface of Mars. The initial goal was to keep contact with the rover with at least 90, but many scientists found fault with that claim. 14 years following the beginning of its long journey on our neighboring planet, the rover continues to work in some fashions.

How It Works

Using hundreds of sensors, Opportunity roams the vast surface of Mars on its own. The rover uses a solar panel to convert sunlight into electrical energy and then transforms it into mechanical power. NASA keeps in touch with the rover through numerous methods, the preferred being a low-energy satellite signal, similar to that of a GPS. 

Impacts/Future Growth

Currently, NASA is failing to make proper contact with Opportunity. It is widely speculated that the rover endured a large dust storm, which may have caused damage to the device. Another theory involves dust covering the solar panels, which prevents the rover from using sensors and signals.

Pros

• Helps to gather data from a planet with little-known constants

Cons

• Very costly

Artificial Intelligence

Background History

A relevantly new topic, artificial intelligence, and rapidly made his way into today's society. From self-driving cars to medical applications, artificial intelligence has the ability to impact every field in the near future. With the further development of such systems, artificial intelligence could possibly take complete control humanity as we know it. 

How It Works

By combining large figures in the process of data collection, AI uses algorithms to process the recorded data. The software than notes patterns in the data, which it then uses to predict future data. The greater the amount of data that is inputted, the greater the accuracy of the predicted data.

Impacts/Future Growth

As more data is collected, AI can become more useful. For example, home devices like Alexa collected data from everyday speech. As the AI receives more data, it gains a better understanding of human speech. As this understanding grows, the ease of use also grows for the everyday consumer. 

Pros

• Can save cost in numerous fields of interest including health care, agriculture, manufacturing, banking, and retail

Cons

• Negative public stigma
• Technology not yet fully developed
•  Has the potential to cause mass job losses (especially regarding white-collar services)
