Would facial recognition create a new AI bounty hunter?
Yeah, facial recognition combined with AI could definitely create a new kind of bounty hunter—an automated or semi-automated system that tracks and identifies fugitives, debtors, or even missing persons.
Imagine a network of surveillance cameras, drones, and even smartphone apps scanning faces in real time, cross-referencing databases for wanted individuals. Law enforcement agencies could use it to find criminals, but private bounty hunters might also tap into similar tech to locate targets faster. AI could predict where someone might be based on past behavior, social media activity, or travel patterns.
The ethical concerns would be huge—wrongful identifications, privacy violations, and potential abuse by authoritarian governments or corporations. But if tech keeps advancing at its current pace, AI-driven bounty hunting isn’t that far-fetched.
What do you think—exciting or terrifying?
