China: AI developments at the service of the police

Chinese companies have recently elaborated a system of surveillance, based on advanced facial recognition methods, meant to prevent crimes. Using artificial intelligence, this efficient program would recognize or track suspects, and would identify potentially dangerous behaviours. The Chinese police is part of this new project, as it is ready to intervene when a threat is discovered and act immediately to neutralize it.
It is interesting to note that AI is a key topic in Chinese development plan for 2020: investors bet this sector is going to evolve rapidly and will be applied to more and more aspects of our daily life.
Here is a video made by the Financial Times, that explains this mechanism in details.
