The Vadodara police in Gujarat are installing facial recognition cameras at public places such as railway stations, parks and markets. This project is being done in tandem with Clearview AI.
These facial recognition cameras will be used in order to identify miscreants and informing the police. Initially, facial recognition will be set up for cameras in limited locations. +
In 2018, it was announced that a mass facial recognition system would be deployed by CloudWalk in Zimbabwe. This forms part of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. CloudWalk stated they would be providing a full suite of surveillance technology tools across sectors. CloudWalk is a Chinese company which supplies cloud policing tools in China. The primary element of this deployment is the use of facial recognition from CloudWalk to develop a large dataset. CloudWalk's later iterations of recognition can identify gait and hairstyles. Another element of the deployment identified by reporters is the utility of training the datatset on darker skin tones for CloudWalk. A final element identified by civil society is the use of the surveillance technologies to identify dissenters and influence elections. A biometric voter roll is being prepared from the database. Huawei has also been linked to the deployment of smart city technologies upon which the facial recognition systems are to run, with Hikvision cameras, for the purposes of this surveillance system. They have at certain points denied this linkage. TelOne, the Zimbabwe telecommunications company, has also been linked to the deployment of facial recognition around the country for this effort. +
From government public bidding documents. A total of 1812 cameras were purchased for this project and equipped with various equipment installed with the cameras. +
About a month ago, Israel-based Corsight AI began offering its global clients access to a new service aimed at rooting out what the retail industry calls “sweethearting,”—instances of store employees giving people they know discounts or free items. +
