Starting this month, Hong Kong will introduce artificial intelligence (AI)-based facial recognition technology across smart surveillance networks using CCTV.
Hong Kong police pointed out that many patrol personnel are often tied up in tracking down missing people or suspects.
It is explained that when AI facial recognition technology is introduced, it is like securing additional personnel to more efficiently locate subjects 24 hours a day.
The facial recognition technology applied to the "SmartView" surveillance camera installation program works in two main ways.
Hong Kong police emphasized that all CCTV cameras installed in the Smart View project only shoot public places.
