Hammersmith and Fulham council is spending £3 million of taxpayers’ money to wire AI surveillance cameras into 500 CCTV cameras. Documents obtained by Big Brother Watch reveal that plans include monitoring slip and fall detection, vehicle ID and tracking and ‘aggressive’ behaviour.
Big Brother Watch’s head of research and investigations said, “deploying AI to detect ‘aggression’ or ‘suspicious behaviour’ will doubtlessly lead to the system flagging ordinary behaviour as concerning.”
