Jake will delve into the darker, more controversial aspects of facial recognition technology, exposing its unsettling potential. He'll unveil cutting-edge glasses capable of real-time identification, allowing you to discover someone's identity with nothing more than a glance. But it doesn't stop there — Jake will also demonstrate how AI can be used to outsmart these systems, revealing how he successfully bypassed a bank’s supposedly secure facial recognition system using nothing but freely available software. For the grand finale, Jake will push the boundaries even further. He’ll add himself to a high-security watchlist of known suspects - only to walk straight past the system undetected with the use of AI, proving just how vulnerable and exploitable this technology truly is.
