If it wasn't for facial recognition technology,

I think we made it about a mile and a half into a three-mile trip.

我想我們在三英里的行程中走了大約一英里半。

I mean, I was saying, you know, slow down, but it was falling on deaf ears.

我的意思是，我一直在說，你知道的，慢點，但我充耳不聞。

I'd basically reached the conclusion that somebody was going to die that night.

我基本上已經得出結論，那天晚上有人會死。

The driver was thrown into bushes nearby.

I'm very fortunate to have walked away from that wreck.

Despite the man's testimony, the police suspect Andrew was in fact the driver.

儘管該男子提供了證詞，但警方懷疑安德魯實際上就是司機。

There was no way that that's the passenger.

The passenger side of the vehicle was all smashed in.

There's no way the passenger survived that.

After telling the police what happened, the man left the scene without making a formal statement.

在向警方講述了事情經過後，這名男子沒有做正式陳述就離開了現場。

Do we know where this person is that pulled him out?

安德魯唯一的希望就是讓他的律師團隊找到那個把他從車裡拉出來的人。

This unknown man could prove Andrew wasn't driving.

這個身份不明的人可以證明 安德魯沒有開車

We printed up pictures of him off of the body cam, handed them out at every shop, every, you know, Starbucks downtown, put it on social media, and no one knew who he was.

Were you surprised that he was being charged with vehicular homicide?

I thought it was case closed, all right, you know.

我以為已經結案了，好吧，你知道的。

He wasn't the driver, but it was a shock to me.

What do you remember about where he was in the car?

I remember he was in the passenger seat, but he was mangled up where, like, that side definitely, like, had him crushed in with the seatbelt on.

我記得他坐在副駕駛座上，但他被撞得七葷八素，那一邊肯定是，就像，他被安全帶壓在裡面一樣。

So it took me a while to take it off and try to get his feet and body over the centre console to get him out of the vehicle.

是以，我花了好一陣時間才把它取下來，並試著把他的腳和身體從中控臺上移開，把他弄出車外。

So he was definitely in the passenger seat?

所以他肯定坐在副駕駛位置上？

We knew at that point we were going to win this case, and within an hour of him giving this testimony, this deposition, the case was dropped.

我們當時就知道我們會打贏這場官司，在他提供證詞的一個小時內，這個案子就撤訴了。

They called me that afternoon and said, hey, it was, you know, it went as expected and they've dropped the case.

Critics say a controversial start-up poses a new and profound threat to everyone's privacy.

A company called Clearview AI has the largest known facial recognition database of images in the US, larger than the FBI's.

一家名為 Clearview AI 的公司擁有美國已知最大的面部識別影像數據庫，比聯邦調查局的數據庫還要大。

The company is run by this man, Juan Tontat.

I want to find out how many pictures the system could find of me.

But as you scroll down, there'll be photos that are less similar or if you see a plus one or plus two.

但當你向下滾動時，就會看到不太相似的照片，或者看到加一或加二的照片。

Clearview scours the internet for images.

A powerful algorithm compares size, shape and distance between facial features to find potential matches.

The search finds pictures I've literally never seen before.

I'm in the back of someone's profile picture and it still finds me.

It doesn't need to be a picture that you uploaded or your friends uploaded.

不需要是你上傳的照片，也不需要是你朋友上傳的照片。

It's just if you're in the back of a picture, you can still be found.

只是如果你在照片的後面，還是可以被發現的。

It's a really surreal, accurate technology.

這真是一項超現實的精準技術。

In the database, there's about 30 billion images.

數據庫中有大約 300 億張圖片。

Because I guess the debate is some people say this is just Google for faces and other people say this is going to change privacy as we know it.

因為我猜，爭論的焦點在於有些人說這只是谷歌的面子工程，而另一些人則說這將改變我們所知道的隱私。

我的意思是，這真的是谷歌的臉。
