Original: 📊 Bedazzled campus surveillance Over summer break, MIT installed over 500 AI-enabled surveillance cameras around campus.
Over the summer break, MIT installed more than 500 AI-enabled surveillance cameras across its campus, according to an analysis published by FlowingData. The report maps the scale of the network and raises questions about how the footage is used and how much students and staff were told. Critics are discussing the privacy implications of embedding artificial intelligence into campus security at this scale.
Why now: People are reacting to the scale and privacy implications of AI surveillance deployed quietly at a major university.
