China has announced an AI-powered unmanned police station in Wuhan.
The station is designed with drivers and vehicles that provide driver's examinations via simulator, registration services, and feature advanced face-scanning technology developed by Tencent, according to a report from Chinese financial paper Caijing Neican.
What's more, reporting accidents and crime could also be handled in the unmanned police station.
The station is meant to be open at all times 24/7 since people will be dealing with dedicated hardware that has less points of failure than web-based solutions.
To be able to use this AI-powered feature, citizens need use their face as ID cards. With image recognition AI, the station will be able to access to all the pertinent information needed.
The world’s first AI-enhanced cop shop, according to Caijing Neican reports:
China in announcing its own, and the world's very first AI-powered unmanned police station, is proving that no other country in the world quite embraces artificial intelligence like it does.
Previously, China’s top security officer has revealed plans to use artificial intelligence to predict crime, terrorism and social unrest before it happens.
"Artificial intelligence can complete tasks with a precision and speed unmatchable by humans, and will drastically improve the predictability, accuracy and efficiency of social management," said Meng Jianzhu, the head of the Chinese Community Party’s central commission for political and legal affairs.
He also called for all elements of the Chinese state and the party to share data with each other in order to renew the efforts to integrate surveillance footage systems across the country.
