Seventh Sense AI Secures U.S. Patent for Privacy-Preserving Face Biometrics in Messaging

Seventh Sense AI has been granted a new patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its technology that integrates face biometrics into chat and messaging applications while preserving user privacy. The patent, titled 'Systems and Methods for Decentralized Recoverable Storage of Private Data and Anonymized, Confidential, Message Exchange Secured by User Biometrics,' names Seventh Sense co-founders Varun Chatterji and Ashish Kishwaha as inventors. This innovative system encrypts messages using a public key derived from the recipient's face biometrics and signs them with a private key generated from the sender's face biometrics. The verification process involves the sender's face biometrics, and decryption uses the recipient's face biometrics. Crucially, the technology avoids storing facial images, templates, or private keys, enhancing data security and privacy. This approach also allows for cryptographic tokens derived from a user's face to be used in deepfake detection by combining ...

Class-Action Lawsuits Filed Against IDScan.net Following Massive Driver's License Data Breach

At least four class-action lawsuits have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana against IDScan.net, a company providing ID verification services. These lawsuits follow reports of a potential massive data breach involving over 153 million driver's licenses and other identification documents, primarily from American and Canadian drivers. The incident, currently under investigation by the FBI, was initially reported by journalist Brian Krebs, who uncovered a service on a Russian cybercrime forum claiming to possess this extensive dataset. IDScan.net provides its services to various businesses, including Hertz, FedEx, and numerous cannabis dispensaries. The lawsuits seek damages for affected individuals and demand improvements to IDScan.net's security measures, highlighting the severe implications of such a large-scale data compromise.

Daycare Uses AI for Child's Graduation Photo Without Parental Consent, Raising Privacy Concerns

Daycare Uses AI for Child's Graduation Photo Without Parental Consent, Raising Privacy Concerns

Parents in Montreal are expressing significant upset after discovering their daughter's graduation photo was uploaded to an artificial intelligence (AI) site by her daycare without their knowledge or consent. The daycare utilized an AI platform to generate the child's graduation picture, a practice that has sparked a warning from the parents about the potential dangers associated with such actions. This incident highlights a growing concern regarding data privacy and the unauthorized use of personal images, especially those of minors, in the context of emerging AI technologies. The parents' distress stems from the lack of permission sought before their child's image was processed by an external AI service, raising questions about data handling and security protocols within childcare facilities. The specific AI site used was not detailed in the report, but the core issue revolves around the daycare's unilateral decision to employ AI for photo generation without parental approval.
