 See this CNet article:


Facial recognition firms are scrambling to see around face masksBecause of face coverings prompted by the coronavirus pandemic, companies are trying to ID people based on just their eyes and cheekbones.https://www.cnet.com/health/facial-recognition-firms-are-scrambling-to-see-around-face-masks/


So yes, AI does have difficulties with masks. And images of faces worn over your real face can fool facial recognition AI.

 Questions:Where can one get this T-shirt?
If AI has trouble identifying a person wearing a face mask, could we confuse it more by putting a pattern on the face mask?  Like maybe a face (so AI doesn't think it's a mask) and maybe someone else's face (so it doesn't look like you to AI)?
Amazon has a service that use a picture of your face and put it on a face mask for you.  So you wear the facemask but it still looks like you (not blank black or white).  Now consider doing this but putting someone else's face on the mask, not yours.  (Maybe Madonna, John Rudy, or Trump, or ?)
