AI, facial recognition tech front and center at China security expo

Excellent !!..

GO CHINA !!..

Who cares, in doubt they need all or very most of their population as working slaves and wealth producers for their dictatorship, so they can’t afford to put them all away into prisons and gulags if they don’t abide to rules or are caught by surveillance technology. If it’s too repressive it will just strike back somehow onto the system and chances are that it is even striking it dead then, one way or another. If no one would fear it, it cannot work at all.

China is one of the most surveilled societies on Earth, with countless CCTV cameras scattered across cities

Yes that is true, but Japan is not that different.

Well said!

At one booth operated by AI software company SenseTime, sales representatives showed off smart cameras that can be set to recognize certain "undesirable" behaviors -- including smoking, physical fights, and not wearing a mask.

Undesirable? Not wearing a mask? I mean seriously, I’m not anti-mask, I’m all for people wearing masks especially if a business proprietor asks you to do it, just do it, but “undesirable” is too much.

Very definition of Big Brother state
