I recently watched Ocean’s 13 and was struck by the advanced AI security system featured in the movie. Within the first 20 minutes, the system is shown to be capable of facial recognition, among other things. This made me wonder: was this technology really available in 2007, when the movie was released?
It’s no secret that facial recognition technology has been around for a while, but its capabilities and accessibility have improved dramatically over the years. In 2007, facial recognition was still a relatively new and emerging field, mostly used in government and high-security applications.
So, how accurate was the portrayal of AI in Ocean’s 13? While the movie took some creative liberties, it’s interesting to note that the technology was indeed being developed and tested during that time. However, it wasn’t as widespread or sophisticated as depicted in the film.
Fast forward to today, and we can see how far facial recognition technology has come. It’s now used in various applications, from social media to law enforcement, and has become a topic of debate regarding privacy and surveillance.
The question remains: how surveilled are we at this point? With the rapid advancement of AI and facial recognition technology, it’s essential to consider the implications of these developments on our daily lives.
As we continue to navigate this complex landscape, it’s crucial to stay informed about the latest advancements in AI and their potential impact on our society.
