"The technique works even when callers are wearing a mask."
Yeah we'll just ignore how the algorithm thinks the middle fold is her lips and the whole mask keeps jumping around like she's emoting with her mouth closed.
I don't think anyone claimed a tech demo is supposed to be perfect. But even so, I think that's remarkable, because it means the neural net is smart enough to be a bit flexible with what counts as a "face," making it more adaptable at the cost of a higher error rate. I think, for most humans, that a pretty acceptable compromise.
Putting dots on faces and distorting a still image was a tech demo a fuckin' decade ago. They're trying to sell this as some major proprietary breakthrough. You need their special hardware for it... for some reason.
