AI face-recognition technology helps reunite lost families

Domestic internet giant Baidu recently announced that its public welfare Baidu Artificial Intelligence People Searching program successfully reunited more than 10,000 lost people with their families over the past three years, which is a good example of how technology benefits people.

Baidu launched this project using its artificial intelligence (AI) face-recognition technology.

In cooperation with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and nongovernmental organizations, Baidu's system matches the photographs provided by help seekers with those in the population database to achieve highly efficient search results.
