Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The AI system in question is Flock Safety's automated license plate readers and AI surveillance cameras, which clearly fit the definition of AI systems due to their automated data capture and analysis capabilities. The event documents the use of these AI systems for mass surveillance, which has led to privacy concerns and potential violations of human rights. The mapping tool reveals the extent of this surveillance, indicating that the AI system's deployment has already caused harm by enabling widespread, unchecked tracking of individuals. This meets the criteria for an AI Incident because the AI system's use has directly led to harm related to violations of rights and harm to communities. The event is not merely a hazard or complementary information, as the harm is ongoing and realized.[AI generated]
