Grigory Bakunov, who occupies the post of director for technology distribution in Yandex, spoke about his third-party project - a service that designs a unique random makeup that would protect the user's face from being detected by the face recognition system.

The project team, which involved a technology specialist, was based on a genetic algorithm that first based on the original photograph selected a new image on the principle of "anti-similarity." Then, on the basis of the result, the make-up artist made up a make-up plan, after which it was applied to the face of the model, novayagazeta.ru reports.

Having received an impressive result, the developer decided to minimize the project. He explained this step by conscience: "The chance to use the product is not too great for good, but for other purposes."
