Surveillance by stealth: New CCTV cameras contain powerful facial recognition technology

It is also considered a powerful national security tool, with the Australian Border Force using it at airport passport checkpoints."There is what is termed the 'chilling effect of surveillance'," she said.

For example, a majority of San Francisco's board of legislators voted last month to"put the genie back in the bottle" and ban the use of the technology by its agencies, including police. "It's psychologically unhealthy when people know they're being watched in every aspect of the public realm, on the streets, in parks," San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin said.China is building a digital dictatorship to exert control over its 1.4 billion citizens. For some,"social credit" will bring privileges — for others, punishment.

University of WA law school Associate Professor Julia Powles said we needed to seriously think about and debate what kind of cities we were creating if our public spaces could be monitored this way.Both Dr Mann and Associate Professor Powles said there was little evidence that the technology prevented crime.

Nothing to hear de nothing to worry about. Of course the ABC doesn’t want criminals being caught. They would rather harbourr them and call it freedom of the press.

The cameras don't contain facial recognition technology, it's the AI integration in the software of the security server that's running them that does the recognition.... This headline is like saying your eyes can do something without a brain attached... 🤨

No point being paranoid about it, there are already ways of tracking people quite accurately without looking at their face & when 5G phones are common your ID + location will be knowable to within a very small distance. Not a reversible phenomena in cities, go bush otherwise.

seriously ABC, dont commit crime nothing to fear. Roll it out everywhere.

Excellent, great idea.

If you have nothing to hide, whats the problem ? However the ABC appears to have lots hidden these days. 🤨

Hoodies are the natural reaction to increased surveillance. & I predict they’ll be more prevalent, the more surveillance increases. I may even start wearing them myself! Big Brother Sucks!

I’m going to start wearing a hijab and sunnies
