Lip-Reading Drones, Emotion-Detecting Cameras: How AI Is Changing The World

AI can now flag people based on their clothing, behaviour or race, log an individual's emotions, understand their actions and predict their next move. It can detect when luggage is left unattended, or if someone is loitering; it can even recognise when an individual is acting'unusual' based on others around them. AI is everywhere and getting more advanced every day. Facial recognition technology, in particular, has made leaps and bounds, partially thanks to tagged photographs on Facebook and Instagram as well as government-collected images such as drivers licenses and ID cards. The quality of cameras has also drastically improved, so much so that they no longer just record, they can'see' in real-time.
