New York City iends to predict crime and dangerous threats before they use metro and artificial ielligence cameras.
The New York City Transportation Bureau (MTA) has announced that it is investigating the use of artificial ielligence systems to preve crime and dangerous behaviors in the subway platforms.
Using artificial ielligence to preve crime in the New York Metro
“Michael Kamper, head of the MTA Security Committee, said at a meeting of the Office of Safety:”
“We are examining and testing technologies such as artificial ielligence so that we can ideify possible symptoms of problems or worrying behaviors in the subway platforms.”
He explained that if a person acts irrational or suspicious, the system could automatically warn and send security forces or police to the scene before an accide occurs.
Emphasizing that the aim of using this technology is to ideify and corol threats before, not just the post -incide recording, Cumper added that our future artificial ielligence is and MTA is currely working with several technology companies to examine the most appropriate solution for the New York Metro system.
However, no details of the name of the corporation, the exact use of artificial ielligence, or the type of behaviors to be ideified.
MTA spokesman Aaron Danovan said in an ierview with Gatamist magazine that the technology does not use face ideification and focuses on ideifying suspicious behaviors instead of ideifying people.
This is not the first time that the New York Transportation Departme has been turning to artificial ielligence. Earlier in 2023, MTA had announced that it had used artificial ielligence -based surveillance software to track people who eer the subway at no cost. This technology collects accurate information about the time, place and how these violations occur.
Recely, the British Ministry of Justice has also been developing an algorithm similar to the Minority Report film, which aims to ideify those who are likely to commit murder. The project, initially known as the “Murder Forecasting Project,” uses police data and other governme agencies, and has raised serious concerns about violations of privacy and the expansion of structural discrimination in the judicial system.
