Documents Reveal Feds Are Excited To Create A Mass Surveillance Network<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A FOIA request by the Electronic Privacy Information Center revealed how excited the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) is about using CCTV cameras to create a national surveillance network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An NSCAI presentation titled “Chinese Tech Landscape Overview”<\/a> discusses China’s facial recognition CCTV camera network in glowing terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When we talk about data resources, really the largest data source is the government.'” <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The presentation discusses how the Chinese government profits from encouraging companies to use facial recognition on visitors and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Now that these companies are operating at scale they are building a host of other services (e.g. facial recognition for office buildings, augmented reality)”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In America things are not all that different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the United States, the Feds encourage private companies like Clearview AI, Amazon Ring and Flock Safety to use facial recognition and automatic license plate readers to identify everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the section “State Datasets: Surveillance = Smart Cities” the presentation extol’s China’s smart city surveillance saying, “it turns out that having streets carpeted with cameras is good infrastructure for smart cities as well.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans do not need more government surveillance and we certainly do not need our smart cities carpeted with government surveillance devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NSCAI says, “mass surveillance is a killer application for deep learning.<\/strong>
As our government applies AI deep learning to things like CCTV cameras, cellphone locations, and license plate readers, a person’s entire life can be predicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI’s will use deep learning to accurately guess where you work, eat, shop, sleep, worship and vacation. Basically, mass surveillance is a killer application for knowing all there is to know about everyone.
Last week MLlive<\/em>, revealed<\/a> that a startup AI company co-founded by the University of Michigan is helping governments use CCTV cameras to monitor people for social distancing as indicated by a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Michigan (UM):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
