Description

Latest among questionable efforts announced by law enforcement to tackle women’s safety is Lucknow police’s plan to set up cameras equipped with artificial intelligence that will automatically take a photo of a woman in distress on the basis of her facial expression, thus pushing police to act. 1

This is being done under the Smart City project of the Adityanath-led Bharatiya Janata Party government in the state. 1

Thakur said at the workshop that about 200 “hotspots” will be identified from across Lucknow on the basis of where women’s movement is the most and from where most complaints are received. As soon as there is noticeable sign of distress in a woman’s expression, the cameras will be activated, he said. 1
