Lie-Detector Glasses: Future of Security Tech by R. Colin Johnson

AI Thread Summary
Lie-detector glasses, developed by Nemesysco in Israel and marketed by V Entertainment in the U.S., aim to enhance airport security by determining if a passenger intends to hijack a plane through real-time analysis of their responses. The technology, initially designed for military and law enforcement applications, raises concerns regarding its accuracy, with claims of 90% effectiveness being questioned. Critics highlight potential legal issues, including violations of the Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and the need for legal counsel during questioning. The discussion also touches on the reliability of voice-pattern recognition technology, with skepticism about its proven effectiveness.

Lie-detector glasses offer peek at future of security

Portland, Ore. — It may not be long before you hear airport security screeners ask, "Do you plan on hijacking this plane?" A U.S. company using technology developed in Israel is pitching a lie detector small enough to fit in the eyeglasses of law enforcement officers, and its inventors say it can tell whether a passenger is a terrorist by analyzing his answer to that simple question in real-time.

The technology, developed by mathematician Amir Lieberman at Nemesysco in Zuran, Israel, for military, insurance claim and law enforcement use, is being repackaged and retargeted for personal and corporate applications by V Entertainment (New York).[continued]

considering "Lie-detectors"-esp. polygraph--not allowed in court--

i consider it 'techno-BS"- "in whose hands"--does this 'work' at 90% accuracy?---

what about the 5th amendment prohibition against self incrimination, the right to have legal counsel present during questioning, prohibition against interrogation without probable cause...i've canceled my 'flight'-i already know i ain't going to get through the gates...i'm afriad it might be reading my subconscious thoughts about Nixon!

'voice-pattern recognition'--what about it?--proven or not?

i've found that magic 8 Ball to be amazingly accurate!
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
