China installs over 20 million AI-equipped street cameras

China has installed over 20 million cutting-edge security cameras in what is believed to be the world's most advanced surveillance system. The camera system, facilitated with artificial intelligence technology, is part of the'Sky Net' operation, which is China's anti-corruption programme mainly aimed to track down fugitives. Such technology can identify a pedestrian or a motorist, which can help policemen in their search for criminals. The new technology can identify a person's age, gender and colour of clothes (left). Video footage posted by China Central Television in a documentary today displays what a real-time CCTV captures on screen.
