What is the effect of introducing face recognition trash cans in Beijing?

As early as last April, Beijing launched the "face recognition" trash can, and the first batch of pilots was Xinfeng Street, Desheng Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. * * * Put 29 sets of smart trash cans at 16. Judging from the situation reflected by residents, most residents think this way is very convenient, but some residents are worried that brushing their faces will reveal their privacy.

It is understood that after completing the registration, local residents can "brush their faces" and throw garbage, and return certain points to residents according to the weight of garbage; If the recyclables are put in correctly, the system will also convert them into cash at the set price. If residents are not registered, they can still use the button to open the garbage cover without affecting their normal use.

Is the "face recognition trash can" overqualified?

The original intention of "face recognition trash can" is to identify the sender and reward points. However, this goal does not have to be achieved through "face recognition". In fact, over the years, there have been points rewards similar to garbage classification in many places, and not all of them have to be realized through "face recognition". For example, most places are assisted by volunteers. To say the least, it is really smart. By swiping the card and swiping the QR code, the integral can be calculated and exchanged, achieving the same function as "face recognition".

Moreover, the "face recognition trash can" is not only expensive, but also expensive for later maintenance because of its high degree of intelligence. Who will pay the bill is a big problem. If the residents of the community pay the bill, they should use the property fee, but the property fee should be used where it is more urgently needed and can benefit the residents generally. "Face recognition trash can" is just icing on the cake, and it is a necessary service for everyone. It is inevitable to waste so much money for this. If it is paid with financial funds, the rationality is also questionable.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm and motivation of the public to participate in waste sorting, it is certainly an encouraging direction to use modern scientific and technological means to promote efficient and accurate management of waste sorting. But all this should also be based on respecting and protecting public privacy and other rights, and we should also consider the economy and practicality of technology and means, rather than blindly pursuing "being tall."
