Facial recognition cameras could be used by police

Police could one day use body cameras fitted with real-time facial recognition to help them catch criminals and find missing people. Motorola has partnered with artificial intelligence startup Neurala to create smart cameras capable of independently searching for criminals and missing children. The companies are still developing a prototype, but hope the AI-driven cameras could soon help police find targets in'suspicious' or'chaotic' environments. Neurala has created patent-pending facial recognition software capable of working on very small computers, allowing it to be used on wearable devices. The cameras will use artificial intelligence to automatically scan hundreds of faces in a crowd, notifying authorities when they come across a known target.
