Temu and Shein at the moment they get rid, the Big Tech breathe

by

After the storm, some calm. At least, temporary. The feared tariffs from the United States to imports from China products They threatened The world economy, but in recent days we have seen the Government of Donald Trump has paused these measures. In fact, he has just done the same with the measures that especially affected Temu and Shein. What happened. Donald Trump has applied A remarkable cut to tariffs that apply to small value packages that arrive from China and Hong Kong to the United States. Thus, the new tariffs on those packages of up to $ 800 of value go from 120% to 54%. The reduction is important, but tariffs continue to impose remarkable rates for this type of products. Temu and Shein breathe (a little). Chinese online trade giants such as Temu or Shein have been benefiting from The exemption called “Minimis” To be able to send low -cost products directly to consumers in the United States without paying import rates. That rule It was canceled by the Trump administration a few days ago, and that caused A domino effect which affected the Big Tech of the US. WOMAN FOR META AND GOOGLE. The decision also relaxes the pressure on Meta and Google, which were great beneficiaries of this commercial exchange. Temu and Shein They sold big in the US Thanks to the exemption of Minimis, but to achieve it they spent true fortunes in advertising that hired giants such as Meta and Google. By deactivating that exemption, advertising income immediately They diverse. These ads are expected to reactivate that advertising expense in the Big Tech. But be careful. Although the situation improves for Temu and Shein, the pause has a small print. Trump changed the minimis rule for a flat rate of $ 100 per package with value of less than $ 800, and that flat rate would amount to $ 200 in June. These rates are maintained despite the 90 -day truce agreement for other tariffs and make it sell directly from China to consumers (very) expensive for Temu or Shein. Temu dodges the measures selling from the US. To avoid the application of these tariffs as far as possible, Temu began to fill gigantic warehouses in the United States of their products to be able to send their “locally” products before they were affected by tariffs. That measure is temporary, because those warehouses will end up needing to fill again and it will be then when they will face these new tariffs. Plan B: No direct sale. Precisely at that time is when Temu has an escape with this announcement of the Trump administration. With the direct sale of products to consumers punished for tariffs and flat rates, the solution is not to sell directly, but fill their warehouses with large orders (no packages below $ 800) and then serve consumers locally. In this way “only” the new reduced tariffs (30%) apply and not those of 54% that affect these value packages of less than $ 800. It is certainly a respite for businesses like Temu, which have the United States as their large sales market. Trump continues to back. The month of April we lived a unique burst of ads in which the US decided to raise their tariffs to China and the Asian giant responded with equivalent climbs. The situation on April 11 reached absurd ends: US tariffs to Chinese imports reached 145%, and China’s to US products to 125%. Neither seemed to move token, but Trump ended up yielding Any was he who started hostilities. Yesterday both countries announced a 115% reduction in these reciprocal tariffs, which has been a real relief for the world economy. Image | Alain G.

The possibility that quantum entanglement rewrites gravity is the most shocking thing that physics proposes us

by

In the exotic world of Quantum physics There are probably few strangest phenomena than entanglement. This quantum mechanism does not have an equivalent in classical physics, and is that the state of the quantum systems involved, which can be two or more, It is the same. This means that these objects, in reality, are part of the same systemeven if they are physically separated. In fact, the distance does not matter. If two particles, objects or systems are intertwined through this quantum phenomenon, when we measure the physical properties of one of them we will be instantly conditioning the physical properties of the other system with which it is intertwined. Even if it is on the other tip of the universe. It sounds for science fiction, it is true, but however strange and surprising that this phenomenon seems empirically proven. In fact, it is, together with the overlap of states, one of the fundamental principles of Quantum computing. This study suggests that gravity is a consequence of quantum information A way of defining quantum gravity requires observing it as the theory of physics that aspires to unify gravity as described The General Theory of Relativity of Einstein and quantum mechanics. It is, in short, a theory of all that attempts to explain what are the mechanisms that lead the behavior of gravity in the scale of subatomic particles. The problem is that so far gravity as we understand it from Einstein It only works well in the macroscopic world with which we are familiar. Physicists have been trying to clarify the relationship between gravity and quantum physics. In this context there is no doubt that each new contribution counts, and the one made One of the most surprising How many have emerged in recent years. And is that what he proposes in the scientific article he has published in Annals of Physics It is objectively revolutionary. Neukart argues that quantum interlocation has the ability to directly condition the geometry of the space-time continuum Its text raises the possibility that gravity is not a fundamental force, but the result of the way quantum information in the universe is organized. The reason why I have dedicated the first lines of this article to quantum interlacing is that Neukart argues that this phenomenon has the ability to condition directly The geometry of the space-time continuum. This means that gravity could be the result not only of the curvature that propitiate objects with mass or energy in space-time, but also of quantum interlocation. To reach this conclusion, this scientist has developed Einstein’s equations by adding a variable that represents quantum information. The effects of their prediction are so tiny that They are currently undetectable From an experimental point of view, but there is the possibility, if finally Neukart’s theory is confirmed, that their theoretical framework helps cosmologists to better understand the extreme phenomena that take place, for example, in The interior of black holes. In addition, this physicist suggests that quantum entanglement could explain where the value of the cosmological constant comes from. A form not quite precise but affordable to understand what this constant is is to observe it as a uniform and continuous force that stretches the space that contains everything. Anyway, Neukart’s theoretical proposal has several limitations that we should not overlook. On the one hand its effects are presumably noticeable only near the Planck scale. And, in addition, it does not solve the quantum gravity, of which we have spoken a few lines above. Even so, this proposal is very interesting for a reason: it suggests that, in reality, the space-time continuum It could be a manifestation of quantum information which contains the universe, so it invites physicists to address new lines of research.

The United States national dish faces a worrying future if tariffs are maintained: hamburgers

by

The commercial war between China and the United States showed a problem for Beijing: they like, much, the American soybeans, to the point that each year they import Millions of tons With the direction of Asia. Of commercial conflict a Unexpected winner: Brazil. Now, the actors themselves appear in another scenario derived from the commercial war. Americans can pass For many things, but do not take away a good barbecue. The commercial war has opened an uncertain scenario for devour meat. Global hamburger in war. Told this weekend The New York Times that, curiously, most of the hamburgers consumed in the United States are not thence. Despite his image as a national emblem, the American hamburger is, in fact, the result of a very wide international supply chain. The ground meat that feeds barbecues, school canteens and fast food chains usually combine local meat with imports, especially and first of Brazil, today The greatest exporter of beef in the world. This interdependence has been exposed after the imposition of generalized tariffs by Trump, whose measures have reconfigured the World Meat Trade And the basic products that millions of Americans consume daily. Brazil, between two giants. In the midst of this commercial war, Brazil emerges (again) as a great beneficiary. Its meat, produced at low cost thanks to huge extensions of grass and cheap labor, has seen shoot your demand both in the United States and China, two economies that alone fail to satisfy the appetite Growing for lean proteins. The imports of Brazilian meat by Washington grew more than 50% In a single year, reaching a record of 1.3 billion dollars, even despite the 10% tariff that raises the final price for consumers. Meanwhile, China, also facing US tariffs, has reduced your purchases There and redoubled his commitment to Brazil, where almost half of his beef is already from the South American country. Molina meat in the eye of the hurricane. This (re) accommodation of commercial flows has caused a Price increase In the global market: Brazilian flesh has become more expensive about 20% Only since April. American meat companies, trapped between the need to maintain affordable prices and the rise in costs, have begun to Mix pork In their hamburgers to reduce the impact to the consumer. Meanwhile, Brazilian producers such as Grupo Fribal plan expand your herds In tens of thousands of heads to take advantage of a demand that, although buoyant, demands time and resources to materialize, in a context of recurrent droughts and logistic saturation in Brazilian ports. Usa dependence. The key in everything is that, although the United States remains a great producer of beef, its specialization is In the premium cuts like him Rib-Eye or the Filet Mignonnot in the type of lean and economic flesh that feeds mass consumption. Therefore, to make their hamburgers, US processors need to mix local meat more fat with imported lean varieties, and Brazil appears. As The economist explains Agrícola Glynn Tonsor in the Times, “in the United States we consume more ground meat than we produce.” The problem? That this structural dependence leaves exposed consumers: ground meat prices have increased 43% in five yearsand they are expected to continue going up while inflation forces homes to leave expensive cuts and return to the basics. All this, at a time when the American livestock census is in minimum of 73 years for droughts and rise in the price of the feed. Brazil and the consumer. Explained the NYT That while China reinforces its ties with Brazil after revoking licenses of more than 390 US processors in retaliation, President Lula tries to maintain diplomatic balances between his two main commercial partners. However, his advisor Celso Amorim Lets meridianly clear: China today offers “more opportunities and less risks” than the United States. Before the new scenario, Brazilian producers prepare to Fill the void left by Americans, although they recognize that expanding production requires time. With a Chinese middle class increasingly fond of the steak and The Hot Pots of beef, and an American demand that does not find substitutes on the same scale, Brazil is positioned as the winning epicenter of a meat trade in full transformation. Of course, with a “but” in the result that summarize very well The president of the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporters, Roberto Perosa: the ranchers are winning, but it will be US consumers who literally “eat the invoice.” Image | Pxhere In Xataka | The price of beef has shot.

You think your flight is managed by an airline, but in reality it sends a silent giant from Linear City: Amadeus

by

From its central offices in Linear City, to eastern Madrid, Amadeus controls the largest travel reservation system on the planet with an almost suspicious discretion. This technological colossus, which barely sounds in the Spanish daily conversations beyond salmon pages, It is the invisible technological brain of global tourism. When you reserve a flight, a hotel room or a rental car, it is very likely that Amadeus technology intervenes at some point in the process. Its software processes billions of daily transactions According to your own data —Ans consultations, reserves and technical efforts, and connects more than 2,500 airlines and 800,000 hotels with their clients in almost all countries in the world. The 2025 first quarter data confirm your strong position: Benefit of 364 million euros (+12.3%). Revenues of 1,632 million euros (+9.1%). Unseen. The really interesting thing is how Amadeus has built a global model without giving up its European identity: Madrid is still its strategic center. Nice (France) is its ideas laboratory. And Erding (Germany) processing data. In this way he has created a viable alternative to the Californian or Chinese model. And without making too much noise. The contradiction. While the company celebrates the historical results published on Friday, the Stock Exchange He punished his shares with a 5.3%drop. The company has recognized that aerial incidents, weather problems and government developments in the United States have affected its reserves, and has cut its growth forecast due to the impact of the dollar-European exchange rate. In perspective. In times where in Europe Technological sovereignty is increasingly worried – Another question is how in time this concern comes – Amadeus is practically an anomaly. It has shown that it is possible to build critical technology with Spanish DNA and compete worldwide. Growth has been especially strong in Asia-Pacific, where reserves rose 10% and embarked passengers increased by 12%, consolidating this region as its main expansion engine. The next. Its net financial debt is at 1,875 million euros, now equivalent to 0.79 times its ebitda Of the last twelve months, 23.7% less than a year ago. As He has pointed out his CEO, Luis Marotothe company is confident in counteracting current challenges with price increases, collection of new customers and extension of services, while keeping attentive to the global uncertainty environment. The elimination of your debt instead of taking advantage of good inertia to try to grow out of control leaves us another reading between lines: Amadeus, rather than for the next quarter, is preparing for the coming years.

Freepik has just launched an Open Source model with a groundbreaking characteristic: licensed images

by

The Spanish Startup Freepik is already one of the absolute referents in the segment of artificial intelligence, but its last launch is especially significant. It is a new model of its own generative called F lite which is a new blow to the table for several reasons, but especially for an especially striking. Licensed images. Freepik, in collaboration with Fal.AI, has presented F lite, a model of generative text in image that stands out especially for being trained “exclusively with high quality images, with legal support and copyright protected” thanks to an important detail. They come from the Freepik library. Inspired (partly) in Deepseek. In Xataka we have talked to Omar Pera (@ompemi), Product responsible in Freepik. He has explained to us how the Deepseek Chinese model served as inspiration by demonstrating that it was possible to create a small but very capable model with much less resources and data. F lite is trained with “only 80 million images, compared to more than one billion usual images” in models of the generative images of the competition. Open Source. As explained in the technical report that accompanies the launch, F Lite is also An Open Source model of 10 million parameters-diminuto if we compare it with the 1.76 trillion estimated GPT-4-which has been trained for two months in 64 GPUS NVIDIA H100. A sample of the result obtained with F lite via Fal.AI. The car does not resemble Renault 5, true, but at least at the level of photorealism the result is really decent. Small but solvent. As explained Iván de Prado (@ivanprado), one of the top people responsible for its development, F lite is a decent model to generate certain types of images despite its small size. It also has its limitations, and can show anatomical defects or not give good results in complex or text rendering. The model is available in two versions in Hugging Face (regular, Texture) and in Fal (regular, Texture). It is also possible Download the github and use it at home, for example via comfyui. Is just the beginning. The launch of this model raises the beginning of an especially striking project that could gradually make it an alternative that rival the most ambitious models, but always supported by that argument of being trained with licensed images and being Open Source. More options for users. The model is not part of the moment of the offer of models available on the Freepik web platform, yes, and does not compete directly with models such as FluxMystic or image 3. “The bet and strategy does not change,” Pear pointed out, and consists in “optimizing the user offer and offering the best technology to solve the problem” and the need of each user. Demands everywhere. We have been seeing how artificial intelligence companies make indiscriminate use of content protected by copyright to train their models. They usually do it without a license and without having permission to use those works, and that has caused numerous Copyright rape demands, especially in cases Like OpenAi. Freepik Enterprise. This announcement comes almost at the same time as its new business offer, called Freepik Enterprise. Omar Pera confirmed that the initial reception of F Lite has been remarkable since this new service. In this area it is precisely where using a model like this is especially interesting, because “companies are covered” when using a model trained with licensed images. A by adobe and other rivals. Pera also pointed us out in Freepik They do not compete With images, “we are going for professional use cases of marketing or design.” They are not compared to a Getty or a Shuttersock, and more “with the creative tools of Adobe, with Leonardo (part of Canva from a year ago) or with the professional services of Midjourney. “ Image | Freepik In Xataka | All the great AI have ignored the laws of Copyright. The amazing thing is that there is still no consequences

The fourth member of the Galaxy family. And no, we don’t talk about Samsung Galaxy S25 Fe. We talk about a model that He showed himself fleetingly in Januaryand of which it was only known that it would be ultradelgado and with double camera instead of a triple configuration. The Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE is official, and arrives with a very clear approach to design. Even above the specifications. We are going to explain both the concept and the reason for the characteristics and specifications of the new Samsung high range. Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE technical record Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge dimensions and weight 158.2 x 75.6 x 5.8mm 163 g screen 6.7 inches Quad HD+ resolution AMOLED LTPO 120 Hz GORILLA Glass armor 2 processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Storage 12 + 256 GB 12 + 512 GB rear cameras 200 MP, F/1.7, OIS 12 MP ultra wide angle, f/2.2 front camera 12 MP, F/2.2 battery 3,900mah 25W fast charge Wireless load Operating system Android 15 Based on One UI 7 connectivity 5G (2xnano + esim)Wifi 7Bluetooth 5.4GPSNFCUWBUSB type c others IP68 Samsung Dex price From 1,259 euros Design is everything on this phone The Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE has only one end: convince for its design. When we ask Samsung what is the reason to buy it instead of any other galaxy, the answer is “the design”, and we are facing The thinnest phone in the family. 5.8mm thick. To get an idea, an ultra galaxy leaves until 8.2mm With just 5.8 millimeters thick It is an exception in the high range, one that has been increasing dimensions and weight for years to integrate more and more components. This Edge model is a cry to heaven, a break for users who want a high range with (almost) everything, but comfortable in hand and pocket. It is finished in titanium and glass And, although it keeps certain similarities with the rest of the Galaxy family, it has a quite own design language that distinguishes it in front of its brothers. Here there is a camera module, one in which we only find two lenses in which we will deepen later. At the level of dimensions, saving thickness and weight, it is quite similar to Galaxy S25+. It is thus located in an “average size”, away from 6.9 inches proposals, but notably larger than its brother the Galaxy S25 or your own iPhone 16 Pro. The best Qualcomm processor and a tiny battery But not only design lives a smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a high premium range, and arrives with the Snapdragon 8 Elitethe last Qualcomm processor and the same one that we find in any of his S25 brothers. It is accompanied by 12 GB of RAM with 256 and 512 GB configurations. Its 6.7 -inch screen is a specifications of specifications with respect to what we find in the Samsung Galaxy S25+. Quad HD+resolution, AMOLED LTPO typeprotGORILLA GLASS ARMOR ECTION … so far, all good. 3,900MAH, 25W … The battery is the main doubt with this Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, although the company promises “one day” of duration The reflection points arrive when we observe The battery capacity: 3,900mah. Samsung says the phone will last the full day. As a user of a Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra to which I manage to exhaust the battery in intense days, I allow my eyebrow. The capacity matters, especially in Android, and this phone will need to be an optimization prodigy so as not to stay behind its direct rivals. Something similar happens with the cameras: there are only two. The main sensor is the same as the Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra: a huge lens with 200 megapixel heart to achieve a 2x zoom without loss of quality by cut in the sensor (lossless zoom). He is accompanied by an ultra wide angle of 12 megapixels, and there is no trace of telephoto. The S25 Edge thus becomes the only high range of more than 1,200 euros without a trace of optical zoom, a sacrifice that we will know so with time if it accepts not the potential client of this phone. Trusted extras As a good Samsung, this phone lands with One UI 7the latest version of the Samsung customization layer. Is enhanced so much with Gemini as with Samsung’s own suite: Galaxy AI. Here the company is undisputed leader (even above Google), and there are no market phones with better artificial intelligence integration: image editing, audio edition, real -time translations … If we add to this the seven years of updates which Samsung promisesand that the Snapdragon 8 Elite should bear without too many problems, the software as a whole is difficult to overcome in Android territory. There are no lack of technologies such as Wifi 7, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4 or IP68 protocol against splashes and dust. Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE, Price and Availability The Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE will be sold in Spain in the Colors Titanio Plata, Titanio Azul and Black Titanium Intense. Its prices are as follows.

Sony has just made its Xperia 1 VIIa perfect phone in which to show its latest technologies … and one in which to take advantage to demonstrate that the “old” are not dead. We are going to tell you all the specifications and technical characteristics of a telephone in which Walkman’s soul resurrects, and in which Sony’s most important divisions coexist: Alpha and Bravia. Sony Xperia I VII Technical Card Sony Xperia 1 VII Dimensions and weight 162 x 74 x 8.2mm 197 g SCREEN 6.5 inches Full HD+ OLED 120 Hz Powered by Bravia PROCESSOR Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite RAM 12 GB STORAGE 256 GB BATTERY 5,000mah Rear cameras 48 MP, 1/1.35 “, F/1.9 48 MP, 1/56 “, Ultra great angle, f/2.0 12 MP, 1/3.5 “, 85-170mm Teleobjective Front camera 32 MP Operating system Android 15 Connectivity Wifi 7 5G SA/NSA Bluetooth 5.4 PRICE 1,499 euros To the new, something old At the level of specifications, the Sony Xperia 1 VII is what could be expected in the last flagship of the Japanese company. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (refrigerated with steam chamber), 5,000mAh battery, triple camera with teleobjective (especially long, up to 170mm), and a 6.5 -inch OLED screen with up to 120 Hz of refreshment rate. But the surprising thing is not its speech aligned with the rest of the high range, it is that Sony continues to maintain technologies such as the 3.5mm headphone jackand betting on improving aspects that many of their rivals forget, such as sound. In this generation, Sony has implemented knowledge of its division Walkmanwith the aim of providing One of the best sound experiences on a smartphone. The audio circuitry has been redesigned in collaboration with the Walkman team to minimize the loss of quality when transmitting the audio. Specifically, a 10% improvement is promised both in low and in media. They also keep the headphones jackbeing the only ones in traditional company (outside the gaming mobiles) to continue maintaining this audio entry. One that we lost a long time ago both in high range and in the rest of the phones, and for which Sony continues to bet. As a novelty, Sony will support your new high range for six years. Four of them aimed at operating system updates and six for security patches. They are not the Six Totals of Google and Samsungbut it is an important step forward regarding some of its direct competitors. The device comes with Android 15integration with Gemini and Surrounds to searchin addition to functions such as the magical draft that has been working for some time in the native Android versions. Xperia Intelligence A premiere in this generation Xperia is Xperia Intelligence, the set of artificial intelligence solutions that Sony presents on this phone. How could it be otherwise, most functions are oriented to the photographic section. One of the most striking is the auto framing function. The Xperia 1 VII is the first phone that can convert horizontal videos into vertical videos maintaining the position of the subject. He does it by turning a 4K filming into a full HD exit, and analyzing the subject’s position to keep it in the video that has been cut. It is a function similar to that of the pro version of Capcut for PCwhich optimizes horizontal videos to formats such as Tiktok’s. In this way, we can record horizontal with our Sony to later watch full screen videos on TV or computer, while we have a perfectly adapted version for social networks. This phone is also able to keep the subject in the center while we make moving videos. It does it through a slight CROP (an image cut), with the consequent loss of quality. Despite this, a quite interesting option if we record someone who is running, pets, children, etc. Sony has also improved the focus to the eye through AI and, in this generation, the phone can also analyze the subject’s own movement, predict its position and adjust the self -effect. Inherited technologies of Alpha cameras for a phone in Price and availability of Sony Xperia 1 VII The Sony Xperia 1 VII lands in Spain at a price of 1,499 euros. You can buy both on the Sony website and in authorized brand distributors.

After the blackout, false images of Spain and Portugal circulated from space. Now we have the real photos

by

55 million people ran out of electricity in Spain and Portugal on April 28, but Total darkness images They circulated the next day, like the one above, they were false. The Balearic Islands did not suffer the blackout, and a good part of the Peninsula already had light when the night fell. Now the European Space Agency has compiled the real images captured from space. The trigger for this collection work were, in fact, the false images. Alejandro Sánchez de Miguel, researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia linked to ESA light pollution projects, He saw the photos that were circulating And he decided that the real ones had to be published. Three NASA satellites equipped with Night observation technology (Suomi-NPP, NOAA-20 and NOAA-21) spent a couple of times on the peninsula that night. Their Six images They tell us a nuanced story, and very different from viral montages, how the Peninsula finished illuminating. The blackout at 03:12, 03:36, 04:30, 04:54 and 05:18 While areas like Madrid had regained light around 22:00 on the 28th, other regions, especially in the souththey followed in the dark until Well enter the morning On the 29th, the almost complete recovery, visible in the last passes of the satellites, arrived at 5:00. The night was clear in almost the entire territory. Dark spots in France or the Portuguese coast are not due to supply cuts, but that the satellite did not go through that concrete region in the waterfall. In green, the areas that still had no light. Blank, the ones In these contrasted images, areas without light can be visualized more easily in green, while areas with electricity supply appear blank. The provinces of Almería and Granada They were the ones that took the closest to illuminate. There are also green areas in Castilla-La Mancha and dispersed regions of Levante, the Sierra Morena and the Campo de Gibraltar. The blackout in Andalusia seen by NASA Earth Observatory While satellites help quickly evaluate the scope and progression of light cuts, the blackouts itself offer space agencies the possibility of Study light pollution and its impact on the observation of heaven or In circadian rhythms of people. In areas such as Almería, the light pollution It was reduced between 70 and 80% during the blackout of April 28. But the light was restored, the stars turned off again and Pilas radio He went back to the drawer.

A company has created an alternative to facial recognition. Does not scan faces and its use already begins to generate controversy

by

When cities like San Francisco They decided to prohibit use From the facial recognition by the police, many celebrated it as a victory for privacy. However, a new tool begins to make its way as an alternative. It does not scan faces, but allows people with remarkable precision to follow. Identify without analyzing the face. The tool is called Track and has been developed by Veritonea company specialized in artificial intelligence solutions applied to video analysis. Unlike classic systems, Track tracks individuals based on attributes such as physical complexion, hair color and style, clothing, accessories or the type of footwear. The algorithm also distinguishes the skin tone, although, according to the company, it does not allow to search explicitly by that criterion. With all this information, the system generates chronologies that allow following a person along different scenarios and video sources. It is not a development concept or a future promise. According to data provided by VERITONE itself, more than 400 customers are already using this technology in the United States, including state and local police forces, universities and private companies. Among them are federal prosecutors of the Department of Justice, who began using the tool in August 2024. Track is available through cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, and is part of the company’s digital forensic analysis solution ecosystem. An evolving system. Currently, Track works exclusively with recorded videos, such as those captured by body cameras, drones, public recordings on YouTube or content provided by Citizens. Veritone claims to be less than a year after enabling the analysis in live broadcasts, which would open the door to a real -time surveillance system capable of following people even when their faces are not visible. Covering your face no longer guarantees anonymity. Until now, avoid facial recognition systems It was possible with hairstylelarge glasses, disruptive makeup or garments designed to confuse algorithms. But Track works differently. It does not depend on the face, but on general visual patterns. You can follow a figure through multiple videos analyzing complexion, clothes or way of moving. Of course, he needs a starting point: someone should mark the person before starting tracking. Even so, its logic doubts many of the classic strategies to avoid being identified. And privacy? Although this technology does not use biometric data in the strict sense, such as faces or footprints, it is based on physical and aesthetic attributes that can be repeated frequently. As Mit Technology Review collectsACLU, an American civil rights defense organization, warns that tools such as track could significantly expand surveillance capabilities. On the other hand, some digital rights specialists underline that continuous tracking through different video sources could be functionally equivalent to facial recognition. An alternative that can avoid the current legal framework. As Track is not based on traditional biometric characteristics, many of the laws that regulate facial recognition in different parts of the world would not be applied directly. This does not mean that the surveillance is less, but that it operates from another technical angle, less regulated for now. The tool is thus positioned in a gray terrain. It offers advanced monitoring without formally invading the biometric space, but its practical effects are dangerously approaching those who have already generated concern with automated facial identification.
