The Wonder of Imaginations

One of the most popular Walt Disney Company adages is “If you can dream it, you can do it.” [It’s a quote often attributed to Walt Disney but actually coined by current Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) Portfolio Creative Executive Tom Fitzgerald for the Horizons attraction at Epcot.] Regardless of the source, sustained success requires that any industry attracts the next generation of dreamers and doers. To that end, in 1991, former WDI executive Marty Sklar introduced Imaginations, a design competition designed to cultivate the next generation of Imagineers.

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.
