Privacy Concerns Of Citizens Related To Drone Use – DEEP AERO DRONES – Medium

#artificialintelligence

The Public Safety Department of Pittsburgh will be using two drones to help first responders reach where police and firefighters can't. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV's) would be used to fight fires, in search and rescue operations, and even in active shooter situations. The UAV's equipped with high-definition camera and thermal imaging, would bring up some privacy concern for citizen. "It's much safer and much cheaper to use technology than put a police officer or firefighter in jeopardy," said Wendell Hissrich, Director of the Public Safety Department. "Considering the public safety, it won't be used as surveillance."
