J. D. Stembal Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 IBM partnered last year with Boston Police to catalog the identities of concert goers using their Smart Surveillance System and Intelligent Video Analytics. http://dailycaller.com/2014/08/18/boston-pd-tested-facial-recognition-software-by-recording-every-face-at-local-music-festivals/ Attendees and promoters were wholly unaware of the test, which was conducted amid a slew of media and photographers regularly in attendance and during a public event where the expectation of privacy is at a minimum. Sensitive documents detailing the program were found unsecured online, where they’ve reportedly been accessible for more than a year. This is some extremely scary authoritarian shit right here.

Mr.Anarchist Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It seems like they were just testing the waters to see what they could get away with. Shame on IBM's executives and the specific employees that took part in this "partnership." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
