Man Versus Machine: Who Wins When It Comes to Facial Recognition?

Researchers answer the questions of whether artificial intelligence is better at facial recognization than humans. The study found both humans and deep learning algorithms perform with similar levels of accuracy when identifying faces. However, when AI technology is combined with human intelligence, the accuracy attainment levels shot up and better results were achieved than when two facial examiners worked together.
