India has been trying out various AI-based tech for many of its national projects. Now, in order to safeguard women, Lucknow’s Police department has taken an initiative to install several AI-based security cameras that can detect facial expressions. The idea of this project is to protect women who are in distress or being harassed in some of the city’s hotspots.
“We don’t know what expressions they are tracking and how accurate the system of tracking these expressions is. Also, it’s not necessary that a person who’s making an expression of anger or distress is actually being harassed in a manner wherein police intervention is needed. I could be talking to a friend, and I could get upset over something. And that could also trigger the cameras,” added Jain.
