Software Describes Surveillance Footage In AI-Generated Text

Posted by timothy on from the now-he's-throttling-the-interstitial-ad dept.

holy_calamity writes "A computer vision research group at UCLA has put together a system that watches surveillance footage and generates a text description of the events in real time. It only works on traffic cameras for now but demonstrates how sophisticated computer vision is becoming. Interestingly, the system was built thanks to a database of millions of human-labeled images put together by Chinese workers."

    Good luck with that. So, if I am in public I should expect that anything I do not be recorded, talked about or written about? I do not know how you expect to enforce that.

    What's broken then?

    The Laws?

    Or the Enforcement?

    There needs to be an expectation of privacy regarding recordings of people in public places. There is a huge difference between being seen vs. having one's every public move recorded, indexed and archived.

    The word you're after here is anonymity, not privacy.
