People in the IARPA have decided that would unleash the Norse Gods with computer technology. Thus producing a computer program that learns to predict attacks never seen before. Lets hope they don't decide to give any robotics this little bit of AI. What say ye? Now, the spy community is fighting back. A 4-year project just launched to develop artificial intelligence that should automatically detect spoofed fingertips, facial images and irises. Researchers at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency aim not only to spot prosthetic thumbs, images printed with ink that conducts a charge, or other proven deceptions. The machine will learn to predict attacks never seen before. Earlier this month, Boehnen met with about 100 people interested in proposing presentation attack detectors for a research and development program named after the Norse god, Odin. One stage of the projectcalled Thor, the son of Odin who brings peace and justicewill attempt to flag known and unknown scams. A final stage, dubbed Loki, who is a trickster in Norse mythology known for causing chaos, will try to find weaknesses in the detection systems themselves, according to project slides.....snip~ http://www.defenseone.com/technolog...s-spot-fake-fingerprints/126928/?oref=d-river
