On June 8, according to the "Financial Times" report, Chinese technology giants are rushing to develop facial recognition technology and actively promote their commercial use. These Chinese companies are obviously bolder than western competitors' fears of facial recognition technology and fears of scaring privacy-conscious alert consumers.
Although in some areas, privacy concerns have prompted slowing progress in facial recognition technology. But in China, many people are used to scanning the face everyday. From payment to visiting residential areas, student dormitories, hotels, etc., face scans are often required. This technology has even been used to solve one of the oldest problems in decades, namely the frequent theft of Beijing Tiantan toilet paper. These public toilets are now equipped with automatic paper discharge machines that can identify the user's face and thus block frequent entrants.
More importantly, Alibaba's online payment service Ant Financial has opened new features, and its 450 million users can log on to online wallets through self-timer. China Construction Bank allows users to pay through facial scanners on certain vending machines. Special car applications are also using facial recognition technology to verify the identity of drivers. Baidu has developed doors that require facial recognition to enter. They can be used in offices or Ticketing attractions.
The Chinese preference for this technology has helped to create the world’s first facial recognition “Unicornâ€, Beijing-based Face++, which raised US$100 million in the third round of financing in December 2016, with a valuation exceeding One billion US dollars.
As a new visual service platform under Beijing Mvvii Co., Ltd., Face++ has licensed its software to DDT and Ant Financial. In many of China's densely populated cities, there is usually a long queue at the door of the bank, where Face++ smells the first business opportunity. The company said: "You need to wait a long time to get the business you need. For this reason we provide facial recognition services for the FinTech sector." Now, Face++ plans to focus on the retail industry.
Although the basic artificial intelligence research behind China's facial recognition technology is similar to that of Europe and the United States, China has achieved a leading edge in commercial applications. Liao Huan, a human recognition technology expert at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said: “Google has not been pursuing facial recognition technology because it has a higher long-term desire. In fact, its facial recognition technology is already very mature. However, large Chinese companies pay more attention to it. For short-term gains, they see facial recognition as the quickest and best way to use AI to get ahead."
Chinese facial recognition startups are also getting positive feedback: The more and more widely used their technologies, the better they will become. As business applications in real life continue to increase, more and more data are fed back into the system to help improve deep learning. Accessing data is critical if all AI applications are used. The combination of China's huge population and relaxed privacy laws has led to a very low cost of acquiring information treasures.
Leng Yu said: "China has no supervision over the collection of photographs of others. For this reason, it is much easier to collect data in China than in the United States. In the early days, you could even buy photos of other people for only 5 yuan." Shanghai Simmons & Simmons The lawyer, Xun Yang, said: "Until recently, Chinese people have considered privacy as a negative concept. Until 2009, the first laws that specifically prohibited the abuse of personal information were introduced."
In view of this, compared with Western competitors, Chinese companies are more bold in launching facial recognition technology. Eric Schmidt, president of Google’s parent company Alphabet, once called facial recognition “terrifying†in 2011 and promised not to create user photo data sets. So far, commercial applications of facial recognition technology in the United States have been limited to people tagging social media photos.
Although Alphabet, an intelligent home affiliate of Alphabet, also integrated facial recognition technology into its security camera, its function is limited in Illinois because the state enforces strict biometric data collection laws. In addition, facial recognition technology may also be abused. Unlike fingerprints, facial recognition can be passive, meaning that the user may not even know that he is being detected. The Chinese government has applied facial recognition technology to surveillance cameras at train stations to alert the police to passengers who are prohibited from traveling.
By coordinating with the government ID system, the market for biometrics (including facial recognition) in China will continue to expand. China has the world's largest nationally verified photo database, which contains more than one billion people's photos, compared with only 400 million people in the United States. In addition, Chinese people have become accustomed to inserting ID cards into chip readers to set mobile numbers, purchase tickets, and stay in hotels. China is also the first country in the world to implant radio frequency identification technology in identity cards. (small)
