Okay, I do get the idea that a lot of people do not want their faces
recognized. Facial recognition has a lot of risks associated with it.
But I still do not see why someone could not get a description of a face
without it being matched to a particular identity.
For example, why couldn't we get a description, say, this person has
blue eyes, brown hair, et cetera, without saying, this is the face of
so-and-so?
People seem to be conflating the idea of describing a face with the idea
of identifying a face. An AI could describe a face without being able to
say that
it is the face of a specific person. The data that gives the name and
other info about a specific person could be isolated from the part that
gives the
description, so that it is inaccessible to the AI so that it would be
unable to say that it is the face of a particular person. For privacy
reasons, organizations
keep data separate already, for example medical records.
I've asked this before and noone has been able to explain what I am
missing.

Subject: seeing AI and facial recognition
If I understand correctly, and I'm not sure I do, the debate is over whether
Seeing and other similar apps should do facial recognition. I get it that many
people don't want to have their face recognized and I don't think blind
people's right to have faces recognized trumps the public's rights not to have
theirs recognized.
