AI-powered surveillance is becoming more common around the world. Smart CCTV cameras are now being used in many places to identify and track people.
To protect people from this type of digital monitoring a designer named Simon Weckert has created a special shirt called Digital Camouflage.
The shirt has a strange and colorful pattern designed to confuse AI camera systems. These systems are trained using millions of images and look for specific patterns to recognize people.
Weckert says this is also a weakness of AI. If you understand what an AI system looks for you can design something that makes it difficult for the system to identify you.
The Digital Camouflage shirt may not look very attractive but tests showed that some AI systems had trouble recognizing the person wearing it.
The idea highlights how creative designs could be used to protect privacy in an increasingly monitored world.
