Using FaceApp to figure out how you’ll look when you’re old and wrinkly may be the viral sensation of the week, but that fun may not be worth it once you look at the fine print. Users don’t have to explicitly click on any user agreement and aren’t forced to read through FaceApp’s privacy policy before using it, but when users apply “old” filters to their photos, they are giving FaceApp license to display their photos worldwide as well as access to location data, according to the fine print. The app does not appear to be uploading users’ full camera rolls in the background, however, as software developer Joshua Nozzi incorrectly claimed on Twitter. After downloading the app, users are prompted with an option to have FaceApp access their camera rolls. This is done so they can select photos to modify with the app. When users select a photo, the app uploads […]

As the U.S. National Security Agency incorporates machine learning and artificial intelligence into its defensive cyber operations, officials are weighing whether cyber operators will have confidence in the algorithms underpinning those emerging technologies. NSA operators want to say, “is my AI or ML system explainable?” Neal Ziring, NSA’s Technical Director for Capabilities, told CyberScoop Thursday. “Contexts where the AI is recommending an action is where that will be most important.” The intelligence agency still is exploring how machine learning, an automated method of data analysis, might be used to detect threats and protect new Internet of Things technology. Given the amount of information that agency employees need to sort through, machine learning could help prioritize tasks and decrease the amount of time employees spend on triage. The NSA aims to use machine learning and artificial intelligence, in which computers make their own decisions, to more efficiently stop threats, and eventually leverage those tools in offensive operations. But, if NSA workers don’t trust the […]
