Live video feeds, AI-aided facial recognition: How police are surveilling protesters at Jantar Mantar
Delhi Police deployed surveillance vans at Jantar Mantar to use live video feeds and AI-aided facial recognition for maintaining law and order and identifying criminals. Protesters argue that continuous recording fosters intimidation, prompting some to cover their faces to avoid profiling. The issue has escalated to the Delhi High Court, which is examining the operational mechanisms and regulatory safeguards of facial recognition technology.
