China is building the world's most powerful face recognition system
China aims to
create the world's most powerful face recognition system and it wants to
achieve it through a project launched by the Ministry of Public Security in
2015, which is being developed in collaboration with a security company whose
headquarters are in Shanghai.
Otherwise, China has already installed the system in more than 170 million state-of-the-art surveillance cameras across the country. The goal of this most modern network in the world is to identify any of the total 1.4 billion citizens in just 3 seconds. Last September alone, China installed more than 20 million security cameras in the country.
One of the examples of this mass surveillance in China, equipped with the world's most advanced artificial intelligence and face recognition software, opposes crime is the high-tech sunglasses already shelled by police in central China, equipped with technology for Face Recognition to spot suspects of crime at railway stations.
Also, the Shenzhen traffic police installed 40 sets of surveillance cameras called "robocap" to identify the faces of unruly drivers and regulate traffic. In the same city of peninsulas, pedestrians receive a fine notification when they violate a rule, and at the same time photographs and names of those who pass the street on a red light to appear on huge LED screens.
Police have arrested three refugees at concerts by singer Jackie Chung in Hong Kong at major stadiums with face recognition technology as part of security measures. China has introduced face recognition in other public spheres - from monitoring homes to restricting the use of toilet paper in public toilets, and opponents of such a system say that China with such methods completely abolishes the freedom of its citizens.
