Future use of computer vision and privacy concerns

Review several government-sponsored research projects in Computer Vision. What are the future use of computer vision and privacy concerns? The future use of Computer Vision is both exciting and concerning.

“An estimated 30 million security cameras in the U.S. alone are collecting data constantly, yielding infinite potential to enhance public safety operations.”

“Eventually, we want visual cognition to be able to answer more difficult questions such as who is doing what to whom, for what reason, and what is most likely to happen next?”

From a safety perspective, this may sound great. But what about privacy?

Conduct some additional research related to Computer Vision’s future use and privacy concerns. What are your concerns? What do you see as extremely valuable?

Summarize the results and your thoughts in 1-2 paragraphs. Be sure to cite your sources using APA reference style.
