IEEE Spectrum reports on commercial adversarial fashion lines and broader surveillance backlash
1 Sep 14 · 13d ago · 1 article · 3 posts · 3 sources · development 1 of 1
Coverage details Cap_able and Urban Privacy selling garments with adversarial patterns, and traces the broader movement against AI surveillance systems including ALPR mapping projects and property damage. Cap_able's dresses, pants, and tops use jacquard-woven patterns; Urban Privacy's Faception Reloaded collection uses black-and-white facial abstractions to fool detectors.
“If we're able to camouflage a person as something else, then we're obtaining our goal. We use this very visible and tangible item to talk about something that most of the time is intangible.”

# AI trying to break AI is the next # cybersecurity hamster wheel (which is spinning already). Also, loving this intersection of # technology and # fashion ! Funny how the machines are now dressing us, and kidding aside, this is about making a statement instead of being a serious # privacy solution. https:// spectrum.ieee.org/adversarial- fashion

There is a weak component to facial recognition systems that can be exploited to make one invisible to facial recognition, but you stick out like a sore thumb to people. The exploit is to not have a human face, meaning the regular pattern of two eyes centered above a nose and mouth. The exploit is as simple as placing a sticker of a 3rd eye, a 2nd…

Anyone else think of "A Scanner Darkly" movie with the interpolate mask that transitions between different faces as the means for better Adversarial Fashion?Wouldn't one be able to use a hyper real mask to create false evident to frame someone? People are so blind in trusting AI that innocent people are being left in jail were primitive detective…

just like cvdazzle before it, this is bound to do bugger all one model into the future, and in the meantime you'd still really want to stick a pebble in one shoe and wear platforms or something to mess with gait analysisyou should read this less as convincingly adversarial fashion and more fashion inspired by the vague concept of…

Face detection on the example images immediately focused on the right part and after that recognition becomes much easier when you crop out the rest. Not convinced. It’s a cool gimmick though. I like the MARPATish look of the black and white one.The most effective socially acceptable mechanism is a burqa or COVID mask or motorcycle helmet sock.

I hope designs like this become easier to purchase soon. It'd be fun to experiment with cameras I've got access to and I'd totally wear it out places on the weekend.Totally get that it's a cat-and-mouse thing, but I don't mind making more work for the people trying to force this on us all.

I don’t know how effective these are but it’s kinda not the point to me, the point of the clothing is a loud statement saying “I’m not okay with being surveilled all the time it’s normal and okay to to feel that way”

> but you stick out like a sore thumb to peopleGood point. When I pass by the security at the airport they force me to take off my hat. Something covering my face would not be taken lightly.

Sounds like you're describing Viola–Jones, which is from 2001. Have you tried this strategy of a third eye or similar using modern face detectors?

These garments need to function in both visible and infrared environments as cameras use both. Otherwise these are not serious.
