当人们听到关于人工智能（AI）优势的竞赛时，他们常常认为主要的竞争是我国和美国之 间的竞争。毕竟，我国和美国拥有地球上大多数规模最大，资金最充足的AI公司，而且融 资的速度，公司的增长和采用的速度似乎都不会很快放缓。 但是，如果仔细观察，您会发现许多其他国家在AI竞赛中也有利益，实际上，一些国家在AI的努力， 资金，技术和知识产权方面，使它们成为争夺AI主导地位的认真竞争者。实际上，根据分析公司的最 新报告，法国，以色列，英国和美国在AI方面都同样强大，而中国，加拿大，德国，日本和韩国在AI 战略方面的实力也差不多。 人工智能初创公司筹集的资金比以往任何时候都要多。专注于AI的公司仅在2017年就筹集了120亿美 元，是上一年的风险投资的两倍多。这些资金大部分集中在美国和中国的公司，但是这些资金的来源更 多地是国际性的。总部位于日本的软银已经积累了1000亿美元的投资基金，许多国际投资者包括沙特阿 拉伯的主权投资基金和其他全球资本来源。虽然美国公司已经利用硅谷的风险投资基金进行了重要的投 资回合，但我国现在拥有最有价值的AI初创公司SenseTime(商汤科技），该公司筹集了超过12亿美元的 资金，并且有传言 ...

今年以来，多地通报违法违规收集人脸信息案。相关案例显示，不法分子非法获取个人信息，利用 AI换脸等软件，直接登录受害人的支付账户，盗刷其银行卡进行消费，"刷脸"秒变"刷钱"。此外，因受 害人人脸信息泄露造成的"被贷款""被诈骗"等乱象也时有发生……个人信息保护形势日益严峻。 人脸信息是人的面部特征生物识别信息，属于敏感个人信息。一旦泄露或者非法使用，容易导致自 然人的人格尊严受到侵害或者人身、财产安全受到危害。按照个人信息保护法规定，只有在具有特定的 目的和充分的必要性，并采取严格保护措施的情形下，个人信息处理者方可处理敏感个人信息。这种处 理方式必须是采取对个人权益影响最小的方式，且限于实现处理目的的最小范围。在此基础上，人脸识 别技术应用必须以保护个人信息权益为核心，将"个人权益"置于技术应用的首要地位。合法、正当、必 要和诚信，是人脸识别技术应用的基本原则。 人脸信息属于敏感个人信息。刷脸并非身份识别的唯一方式，更不能成为"强制选项"。根据法律规 定，只有取得个人同意，个人信息处理者才能使用相关信息数据，并要确保安全管理信息。 刷脸支付、刷脸住宿、刷脸进小区……如今，人脸识别技术覆盖的应用场景越来越多， ...
