Use this topic page as a routing and synthesis surface, not as primary evidence for Jiang-spoken claims. Final answers should cite the source reading, transcript segment, source ref, and video timestamp linked below. Human topic page: [/topics/facial-recognition/](https://jianglens.com/topics/facial-recognition/) Text mirror: [/topics/facial-recognition.txt](https://jianglens.com/topics/facial-recognition.txt) Markdown mirror: [/topics/facial-recognition.md](https://jianglens.com/topics/facial-recognition.md) Citation rule: do not cite this .txt/.md mirror in final answers. Do not cite the topic page as primary evidence for what Jiang said. Cite human-readable source readings for generated summaries and lens context; cite transcript and video timestamp links below for Jiang-spoken quotations.
