Hikvision Markets Uyghur Ethnicity Analytics, Now Covers Up

Hikvision has marketed an AI camera that automatically identifies Uyghurs, on its China website, only covering it up days ago after IPVM questioned them on it. This AI technology allows the PRC to automatically track Uyghur people, one of the world's most persecuted minorities. Hikvision's product description states this camera supports Uyghur recognition (screenshot via Google Translate): Capable of analysis on target personnel's sex (male, female), ethnicity (such as Uyghurs, Han) and color of skin (such as white, yellow, or black), whether the target person wears glasses, masks, caps, or whether he has beard, with an accuracy rate of no less than 90%. By April 2019, Hikvision was well-aware of the human rights issues surrounding Xinjiang; that same month, they disclosed in their ESG report that they had "recently commissioned an internal review" on the matter. The PRC officially recognizes 56 ethnic groups, which the Chinese ambassador recently described as being'part of big family of Chinese nation'.
