JAYWALKING IN CHINA: FACIAL RECOGNITION SURVEILLANCE WILL SOON FINE CITIZENS VIA
TEXT MESSAGE

Authorities in Shenzhen, China, have set up artificial intelligence-powered CCTV
cameras to scan the faces of those who jaywalk at major intersections and
display their identities on large LED screens for all to see.

If that isn't punishment enough, plans are now in place to link the current
system with cellular technology, so offenders will also be sent a text message
with a fine as soon as they are caught crossing the road against traffic lights.

Intellifusion, a Shenzhen-based AI company, is working with local cell phone
carriers and social media platforms, such as WeChat and Weibo, to develop the
technology, South China Morning Post reported.

SenseTime surveillance software identifying details about people and vehicles
runs as a demonstration at the company's office in Beijing, China, October 11,
2017. Authorities in Shenzhen are planning on using facial recognition
surveillance alongside cellular technology to identify jaywalkers and instantly
text them their fines. Reuters

"Jaywalking has always been an issue in China," Wang Jun, the company's director
of marketing solutions, said. "[It] can hardly be resolved just by imposing
fines or taking photos of the offenders. But a combination of technology and
psychology… can greatly reduce instances of jaywalking and will prevent repeat
offences."

In April 2017, Shenzhen traffic police introduced the facial recognition
technology and LED screens to shame and deter jaywalkers. The 7 million-pixel
cameras capture images of people illegally crossing the road. The facial
recognition software then identifies the citizen against a database and displays
their photo alongside their family name and some of their government
identification number on the screen.



Last month, Shenzhen traffic police said they identified over 13,930 offenders
at one busy intersection in the 10 months since the screen was installed.

The surveillance technology has deterred repeat offenders and the next step,
sending text message fines, may eradicate the large costs involved with
installing the screens, according to Wang.

Other main Chinese cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, are also currently
utilizing AI and facial recognition surveillance to capture drivers who violate
road rules. Authorities at Zhengzhou East railway station, in Henan province,
were also equipped with real-time facial-recognition sunglasses to instantly
locate criminals in crowds during the busy Chinese New Year period.
