Big Ideas: The Sky’s The Limit

September 1, 2019 by Craig Causer

The genesis of any Disney park, attraction, hotel, or cruise project begins with people—creative and diverse and with varying perspectives. These people, Imagineers, are involved with everything from design through delivery—and the earliest phases are Blue Sky. Contrary to popular belief, Blue Sky is not a Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) department; it’s a phase of a process where Imagineers explore all the possibilities of what an experience will be, whether it’s an attraction, a restaurant, a hotel, a ship, or even an entirely new park. The approach focuses on putting together interesting and creative people with different perspectives, giving them meaningful challenges to solve, and then removing barriers so they can create the next big thing in theme park entertainment.

Privacy implications of facial recognition technology

Facial recognition technology (FRT) has experienced enormous growth and rapid deployment across different sectors of the society in recent years, mostly motivated by safety, security, and commercial applications. However, major privacy questions arise around this technology, and regulators are still working to provide clear set of rules governing its use. This paper focuses on privacy implications of FRT usage. Specifically, we first present the definition of FRT, followed by an analysis of the vulnerability and risks that can potentially arise and how they might be concerning in such context. Finally, we discuss efforts needed to mitigate privacy concerns related to FRT, from both technical and regulatory perspectives.
