The night of December 16, 1773, dozens of Massachusetts colonists quietly boarded three ships and dumped what would now be close to $1 million worth of British tea into Boston Harbor.
The Sons of Liberty painted their faces and dressed like Native Americans. They barely spoke, to avoid revealing their identities. "There appeared to be an understanding that each individual should volunteer his services, keep his own secret, and risk the consequence for himself," one of them wrote. It worked. Only a single person was caught.
What if the British had access to modern surveillance technology? What if they’d had access to face recognition?
From the Boston Tea Party to the printing of Common Sense, the ability to dissent—and to do it anonymously—was central to the founding of the United States. Anonymity was no luxury: It was a crime to advocate separation from the British Crown. It was a crime to dump British tea into Boston Harbor. This trend persists. Our history is replete (充满的) with moments when it was a "crime" to do the right thing, and legal to inflict injustice.
The latest crime-fighting tools, however, may eliminate people’s ability to be anonymous. Historically, surveillance technology has tracked our technology: our cars, our computers, our phones. Face recognition technology tracks our bodies. And unlike fingerprinting or DNA analysis, face recognition is designed to identify us from far away and in secret.
Face recognition is not just about finding terrorists. It’s about finding citizens. As a result of simply having a driver’s license, over half of all American adults are enrolled in a criminal face recognition network. While the details are murky, it appears that Baltimore County police used face recognition to identify people protesting the death of Freddie Gray.
As law enforcement develops increasingly powerful surveillance tools, we need to ask ourselves: Are we building a world where no dissent is anonymous? A world where the Sons of Liberty are each arraigned (传讯) as British tea still floats in Boston Harbor?
The answer to these questions has to be " no". In the midst of a heated debate about encryption and the need for privacy and security in our communications, it’s tempting to think that the solutions to these problems will originate in Silicon Valley. They won’t. You can encrypt your hard drive. You can encrypt your emails and texts. You cannot encrypt your face.
There may be technical means to avoid face recognition. Coincidentally, one of them echoes the face paint worn by the Sons of Liberty. But face recognition’s, threat to freedom will not be addressed through a simple change in default settings. It will be addressed only through hard conversations, and legislation, in Congress and state legislatures.
"Writing and talk do not prove me," wrote Walt Whitman in his Song of Myself. "I carry the plenum (充满) of proof and everything else in my face. " We have grown accustomed to the monitoring of our technology and communications. There is something different, something intractable and ominous, about the tracking of our bodies. [br] The threat that face recognition poses to humanity can only be solved through______.
选项
A、the research of Silicon Valley
B、the make-up of the Sons of Liberty
C、the slight change on the face
D、dialogues and law-making in legislative body
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。本题考查人脸识别技术对人类造成的威胁的解决方法。该段最后一句提到,只有通过国会和各州立法机关的艰难对话以及立法才能得以解决,结合上一句可知,该句中的it是指人脸识别技术对自由造成的威胁,故答案为D)。A)“硅谷的研究”,由第八段第二、三句可知,硅谷无法解决人脸识别技术所造成的威胁,故排除;B)“自由之子的化妆”,由第九段前两句可知,自由之子的化妆只是避开人脸识别的技术手段,但无法解决该技术对自由造成的威胁,故排除;C)“人脸的轻微改变”与原文表述相反,该段第三句提到人脸识别技术对自由造成的威胁不会通过对默认设置的一个简单改变就能得到解决,结合上一句可知,这里的default settings是指“人脸”,由此推测,人脸的轻微改变无法解决人脸识别技术对自由造成的威胁,故排除。
