Chinese authorities have deployed an AI-powered surveillance platform integrating facial recognition and big data analytics to monitor foreign nationals, journalists, and specific groups in China.

The event involves an AI system explicitly described as integrating big data and AI technologies for surveillance and predictive policing. The system's use has directly caused harm by violating privacy and human rights of foreign journalists and others, through pervasive monitoring, real-time tracking, and intimidation. The article details actual deployment and use of this AI system with real data and real consequences, not just potential risks. Hence, it meets the criteria for an AI Incident due to direct harm to individuals and communities through violations of rights and freedoms.[AI generated]
