Mumbai's municipal corporation, the BMC, is testing an AI-powered camera system aimed at stopping people from dumping garbage in public spaces. The technology is intended to detect and deter illegal dumping automatically. The trial has drawn attention online, with observers debating whether surveillance of this kind can actually clean up the city's streets or will face enforcement and privacy challenges.
