China’s traffic police are using AI smart glasses to identify vehicles in seconds, reduce inspection time, and improve road safety.

    Imagine sacrificing everybody’s privacy to “make jobs easier” for cops in an techno-authoritarian police state.

    Personally, I’m not interested in how easy cop’s jobs are, only how good the quality of people’s lives are.

        Yes, great point. Previously there was a limitation on how easily cops could find a reason to harass you and now there isn’t. There’s literally zero difference between those scenarios.

        If you need technology to help you read a license plate then I’m not surprised you don’t understand the ramifications of sweeping AI identification and tracking being used, especially in a country with poor civil rights protections.

        What really blows my mind is that some people have such a shallow, surface level understanding of the potential impact of technology on society.
