Dark Net (2016)

Episode Overview

Our faces are our most recognizable traits, yet to machines, they are merely data points, often converted into faceprints stored in someone else's database. In this episode, we encounter a man whose life was shattered when facial recognition technology falsely linked him to a crime. We also meet a father who has equipped his home with facial recognition systems to protect his autistic daughter. Additionally, we gain exclusive insight into the FBI Biometric Technology Center, where more than half of Americans' biometric data has been uploaded into a massive database.
