Forget Big Brother. A stranger in a coffee shop can watch you and learn virtually everything about you, where you’ve been and even predict your movements “with greater ease and precision than ever before,” experts say.
All the user would need is a photo and advanced artificial intelligence technology that already exists, said Kevin Baragona, a founder of DeepAI.org.
“There are services online that can use a photo of you, and I can find everything. Every instance of your face on the internet, every place you’ve been and use that for stalker-type purposes,” Baragona told Fox News Digital.
“So, for example, if you run into someone in public, and you’re able to get a photo of them, you might be able to find their name using online services. And if you pay enough, you might be able to find where they’ve been, where they might currently be and even predict where they’ll go.”
“In general, the industry is not having its ‘come to Jesus’ moment,” Baragona said. “While I’m very concerned about the perils of AI, I’m also a strong believer in the power of AI and how it can make the world a better place.
“It’s a technological leap, and history has shown our lives tend to vastly improve due to these leaps.”
