Gil Perry, co-founder and CEO of D-ID said: “Our face has become our password – but unlike passwords, we cannot change our face, so we have to protect it.” Perry went on to say, “We have developed an AI technology that make images unrecognizable to face recognition algorithms – while keeping them similar to the human eye. This allows people to store, share and utilize images and videos without having to worry about their faces being picked up, identified and misused by automated face recognition tools.”
