Facebook Now Uses Facial Recognition to Alert You When Someone Uploads a Picture of You
擴大人臉辨識,有頭有臉有通知
Facebook has started to use its facial recognition AI to notify users when their photos are uploaded to the social media site even when they are not tagged in the pictures.
臉書最近開始使用臉部辨識人工智慧技術,在使用者的照片被上傳到臉書網站上時,儘管沒有被標記在裡頭,仍然會通知用戶。
notify(v.)(正式)通知、告知tag(v.)標註
The new feature has been rolled out to Facebook’s more than 2 billion users, but is not available in Canada and the European Union because of stricter privacy laws in those regions.
超過20億臉書用戶現在可以使用這項功能,但這項功能在加拿大和歐盟並不會立即上線,因為這些地區的隱私權規定較為嚴格。

It only applies to newly posted photos, as well as those with privacy settings that make an image visible to the user.
這項新功能只適用於新上傳的照片,用戶只有在有權限看見照片時,才會收到通知。

The social media giant said the feature could be especially useful if someone in the user’s friend network posts a compromising picture of him or her without tagging them.
臉書表示,若遇到使用者朋友圈的人把有他們有失體面的照片上傳,而沒有標註他們的狀況,這項功能就可以派上用場。
compromising(adj.)有損聲譽的、有失體面的
The feature is powered by the same facial recognition technology that Facebook has used to suggest friends whom users may want to tag in photos.
這項新功能所使用的人臉辨識技術,與臉書用來建議使用者在照片中標註好友的技術是一樣的。
This means hundreds of billions of photos are stored on the company’s servers to provide ample data to train machine-learning algorithms to recognize different faces.
這意味著有數千億張照片被存在臉書的伺服器裡,提供大量的數據訓練機器學習演算法辨識不同的臉孔。
ample(adj.)大量的algorithm(n.)演算法
Facebook’s head of privacy, Rob Sherman, states that the new photo-notification feature will give people more control over their images online.
臉書隱私權部門主管謝爾曼指出,建構這項新照片通知功能的目標,在於保障使用者在線上的肖像權。
notification(n.)(正式)通知;提醒
But some analysts have expressed concern that Facebook might utilize users’ image data to further the company’s commercial advantages, putting people’s privacy at additional risk.
但是有些分析師擔心,臉書可能會使用用戶的影像數據以更進一步獲取商業利益,提高人們隱私外洩的風險。

Fortunately, privacy-conscious users can choose not to be subject to Facebook’s facial recognition capabilities by opting out in the Timeline and Tagging section of Settings.
幸運的是,注重隱私的臉書用戶可以選擇不要受到臉書臉部辨識功能的影響,只要在「設定」的「動態時報和標籤」頁面關閉該功能即可。
