    Watching Hong Kong news coverage repeat many of the media failings of the Arab uprisings. Everyone who wrote about cool lasers foiling AI facial recognition, for example. Flashy visuals make good stories even if they don't make sense, but the real issue is missing the real story.

        AI facial recognition is among the least of the issues here— and the lasers have little to do with it either way. Journalists are chasing spectacle and the word AI. China's surveillance infrastructure *is* important but the laser angle? Spectacle chasing.https://twitter.com/dbrades89/status/1157013384803565574 …

        So the lasers can't actually mess with AI facial recognition?

        The laser is just for distracting the police. Talk to the people on the ground. Protesters are wearing surgical mask to conceal their face.

        Reading about HK protestors undermining facial recognition tech, I can’t help but think that if our wider field can’t bring itself to speak more urgently about how the technologies we invent will be used by malicious powers, we may not deserve the public’s confidence or respect.
