I’m just glad people were smart enough to realize the implications of “finding lost dogs”. I immediately thought this implied terrible surveillance uses. I asked my wife about how she thought this would work and she thought it was very sweet (she and I are both dog lovers). I said so how are they “identifying these dogs?” She went through the mental process… “they just take the footage and use the same facial recognition to see if a dog matches a missing one…. Oh yeah, that’s bad”.
Yes absolutely it does. If you use Google Photos or Apple Photos they will handily identify every instance of your dog’s face. It’s not quite as accurate as people, but they’re perfect capable with little effort.

I guess a lot of other people did the same thing.
Does facial recognition even work on animals? I seriously doubt it.

Yes. Immich works great at separating out pets.
It’s not just facial recognition anymore, though, they’re looking at all kinds of other stuff, even how you walk.
