The US Military is one unit that is advancing at an exponential rate by developing new tech for its soldiers every other day. From creating an AI to control drones from gamer instincts to providing an AI “teammate” to soldiers in battlefields, they are on a roll. Now, with the advancement in Machine Learning, the US Military is planning to develop a portable camera device with facial-recognition tech that can reportedly identify a face from a kilometre away.
With this tech in hand, the US Military can identify targets without going near them. They can prevent the risk of losing high-value targets. However, with the looming privacy concerns of the facial recognition tech, it will be difficult for the military to put it in action right away.
