Welcome to the world of _Stand on Zanzibar_.
I'm going to claim that novel as prior art on both Microsoft's and Intel's

I recall a science fiction story I read once which dealt with such
facial-recognition software, taken to the logical extreme - though I don't
recall what the story was called. (They also had pretty good AI).
There was one sene where a protagonist gets a message. Her digital assistant
reports that her mask (a program that pretends to be her face in order to get
the message to play for the digital assistant to summarise) is unable to get the
message to play, so she attempts to open it herself. The message starts off by
showing a salesman who looks quite a bit like her ex-boyfriend, which surprises
her; the surprised reaction gets the message to play (it's spam, of course; he
launches straight into a sales pitch).
She immediately ends playback, and tells her digital assistant to incorporate
that potential reaction into her mask for the future.
If this goes forward, I'll expect the creation of such software 'masks' to fool
the system to follow before long. Of course, that requires a certain level of
user control over the operating system...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Via such monitoring we could predict when a person is likely to commit
a serious crime. We could then arrest them and put them away for
awhile until it is deemed that the danger has past, like maybe because
the potential offender was given councseling, or maybe medication.
We could call it "Future Crime".
Hey, we could make a movie about that. How ' bout start Tom Cruise?
He would be perfect for the role.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
