Reply to comment by lightknight7777 in The professor trying to protect our private thoughts from technology. Prof Nita Farahany argues in her new book, The Battle for Your Brain, that intrusions into the mind are so close that lawmakers should enact protections by HorrorCharacter5127
Tech doesn’t necessarily have to read brain waves in order to violate the privacy of our minds.
Haven’t we already read about facial recognition cameras with processing algorithms fast enough to “read” micro-expressions? A quick search brought up technical discussions as well as commercial products going back several years.
If equipment and image processing software can be refined to that level, our private emotions will no longer be private while we are in range of cameras.
