The Image AI That Sees Faces Everywhere

A security system uses an AI to recognize faces in camera images.

It is supposed to automatically report whenever a person appears.

In many situations the system works very reliably.

It often detects visitors faster than human observers.

But then strange false alarms start to happen:

The AI suddenly reports a face on a house wall, in a cloud, or on a pillow.

In reality, of course, there was no person there.

The software was supposed to detect humans.

So why does it suddenly see faces everywhere?

Question:
Why can an image AI recognize patterns as faces even when no people are there?

Solution will be unlocked tomorrow.
