" Juggalo " is a term that refers to fans of the American hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse and is known for applying a very unique makeup to the face. By applying such a Juggalo makeup to the face, it turned out that "AI's face recognition technology can be deceived" by chance.

Mr. TAHKION , a computer security researcher, said, "Juggalo's makeup succeeded in breaking face recognition.If you want to avoid monitoring by AI's face recognition technology, you may want to make Jaggalo makeup Tweet and upload photos of people of Juggalo who make unique makeup.


According to Mr. TAHKION, general face recognition technology grasps information such as where the nose is, where the boundary between the jaw and the neck is, by specifying the contrast area of ​​the human face. However, makeup by people of Juggalo blurs the face, emphasizes areas such as above eyebrows, cheeks, and mouth under black, so that face recognition erroneously recognizes the contrast area.


Meanwhile, corpus paints like metallic band fans also emphasize eyes and mouths with black in white paint, but they do not seem to bring about the effect of confusing face recognition technology. Also, make-up of women's eye line etc. can not go to deceive facial recognition technology. If you also want to bring about the effect of cheating high-performance face recognition technology again, it seems that it is necessary to blacken in a large area of ​​the face and to significantly shift the contrast area from the actual one.


Face recognition technology by AI has been put to practical use in several countries and is also used for criminal investigation. There are many criticisms from the viewpoint of privacy to utilize information obtained by surveillance cameras and the like for criminal investigation using face recognition technology etc. However, regulations on face recognition technology are hardly done.

Juggalo's make-up is the face recognition technology identified by the contrast region of the face, and it can not cheat the face recognition technology that identifies the face by the depth of the face like Face ID which is the face recognition function of Apple Mr. TAHKION explains.
