Project
Digital imagery has become fundamental to smartphones, surveillance, healthcare, and smartcity systems. AI vision tools can recognize faces, detect objects, track people, and generate synthetic images with ease. These capabilities also introduce major privacy and ethical risks, amplified by recent deepfake misuse and strict regulations such as...
