Hi, this is my first post. Sorry, my Russian is not good enough to write in the language directly yet, and I don't have a Cyrillic keyboard.
I've enjoyed reading a lot of the posts here about AI/ML today.
I saw this related video from Big Brother Watch a few days ago, which I found to be quite disturbing:
It shows UK police driving a facial recognition vehicle to various parts of London. They park and deploy the system, which then scans every face walking on the street, and the police will seize people their system identifies as wanted by the government.
Except, it keeps misidentifying people, and the data in the van's system is not updated n real time, it's outdated, so they detain a guy who cleared up a legal issue the day before.
I don't understand how people can trust these technologies so much. The police in the video believe the AI over their own senses. It's crazy.
Obviously, London has invested a lot into video surveillance in general over the last several decades. I have not heard of anything quite this extreme in the USA yet, just the thing about many police cars constantly scanning car license plates. Wondering if it's going on in other countries.
