Artificial intelligence (AI) could be the key to hiding your personal photos from unwanted facial recognition software and scammers without compromising image quality.

A new study from Georgia Tech University, published in preprint July 19 arXiv The database details how researchers created an AI model called “Chameleon” that can create a digital “single, personalized privacy mask (P-3)” for personal photos that prevents unwanted facial scans from penetrating a person’s face recognize. Chameleon instead ensures that facial recognition scanners recognize the photos as someone else.
