Tech: PimEyes' scan power, Chorus' fastest fibre

From Nine To Noon, 11:05 am on 9 June 2022

Technology correspondent Bill Bennett joins Kathryn to talk about PimEyes, a company offering the ability to scan people's faces on the internet - with great accuracy. Anyone can use it - and images of people were able to be found even if they had a mask on or had their face turned away from the camera.

Chorus showed off its 25 Gbps fibre broadband last week - that's about 75 times faster than most fibre connections.

The 2degrees merger with Vocus has created New Zealand's third largest telco, and Skinny Jump is offering low-income families a way to stay connected.
