Text-based game to feel yourself in not so distant future where real AI exists.

We all now, how DS and #AI products affect our life and how they actually influence our lifestyle. But in the future our relationship will become more tense. It is rather nice experience to play this game, not only because it reminds of old-school games, but also because it looks shookingly possible.

The CRISPR/Cas system is based on the bacterial immune system that protects bacteria from viruses. Scientists have managed to improve and supplement the natural defense mechanism with a toolkit that provides them with a quick and inexpensive way of correcting DNA in plants, animals and humans. These changes occur only in specific parts of the genome without affecting other areas.

Beijing-based Megvii project focuses on the development of facial recognition technology. Its Face ++ data base boasts solutions developed by 300 thousand programmers. The application performs a widest range of tasks: from identity checks of taxi drivers working for aggregator services to catching criminals. By way of example, it took the application just 7 minutes to verify a journalist’s identity.

This is how the program works: a user's picture is uploaded into the system, it integrates facial biometric data simultaneously tracking 83 key points on the face. It enables identification of a person’s face with 99% accuracy. In addition to identity verification, the program determines the person’s age, race, gender, and emotions. The application provides access to private property: for example, it allows you to track people’s movements inside a building. This capability makes the technology extremely useful for shopping centers and banks to prevent robberies.

Face ++ has a mixed reputation: human rights activists consider it to be an instrument of public control. The situation around the application is aggravated by the fact that Face ++ is part of the smart video surveillance programme in PRC. The program is also used by the Chinese police helping them to identify criminals much more efficiently than through fingerprint analysis or the viewing of videos recorded by surveillance cameras.

The startup is currently working with several companies, such as Ant Financial Alibaba — Alipay units. Face++ can be used to pay for purchases in China by just smiling into the camera. The programme is already used by more than 120 million people in China.
