Amazon-Powered AI Cameras Used to Detect Emotions of Unwitting UK Train Passengers | WIRED
CCTV cameras and AI are being combined to monitor crowds, detect bike thefts, and spot trespassers.
I call bullshit on the software. Just another grift
Could be another “ai is just cheap labor from India” scam.
But more importantly, at what cost here? I mean how much processing power and engineering time is required and at what cost….to try and detect bike thefts?
Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy them a new bike?
I doubt it. Facial recognition is here and it is scarry as all get out

A fitting epitaph for the human race?

Isn't it the government's job to put a stop to crime and ensure a happy community? Nothing to worry about if you're an upstanding citizen.
The problem with that is two fold. The first issue is that surveillance equals power. Governments have power over people when they can arrest you for just about anything. It might start out as just a safety measure but it ends with people getting arrested for exercising basic rights.
The other issue is that these systems are racist, sexist and discriminatory. This is because your training data is always going to be flawed in some way.
