Amazon's AI Tested In Major UK Train Stations To Combat Crime: What You Need To Know
Several underground train stations in the United Kingdom have adopted Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) facial recognition technology in the Seattle-based company's latest flex of its AI muscles.
在英國，幾個地鐵站採用了亞馬遜公司（NASDAQ:AMZN）人臉識別技術，這是這家位於西雅圖的公司展示其人工智能實力的最新舉措。
What Happened: Wired reported the program's existence, citing partially redacted documents from a FOIA request.
發生了什麼：Wired報道了該計劃的存在，引述了FOIA要求的部分經過刪減的文件。
London's Euston and Waterloo stations and Manchester's Piccadilly station are among the British stations who have tested AI in conjunction with CCTV cameras. The program was initiated in an effort to reduce crime.

Images captured of passengers were analyzed through Amazon's Rekognition, an AI-powered facial recognition system. The system predicts travelers' age, gender, and emotions (such as happy or sad) in predicting behavior. In particular, the technology can identify trespassing, bicycle theft and dangerous behavior.
通過亞馬遜的Rekognition進行的拍攝乘客的圖像分析是一種基於人工智能的人臉識別系統。該系統可以預測旅客的年齡、性別和情感（如快樂或悲傷），以預測旅客的行爲。該技術特別能夠識別越界、自行車盜竊和危險行爲。
The technology can also measure passenger satisfaction and has possible uses in targeted advertising.
該技術還可以衡量乘客的滿意度，在定向廣告方面也有可能被使用。
Why it Matters: Facial recognition technologies have faced mixed receptions. While some applaud the potential to limit crime and unruly behavior, others believe it could be exploited or perpetuate biases.
人臉識別技術已經面臨着褒貶不一的反響。一些人贊成限制犯罪和不良行爲的潛力，而另一些人則認爲這種技術可能被濫用或者助長偏見。
There is some evidence that the technology can engage in "racial profiling" and lead to inaccurate results in identifying guilty parties.
有證據表明，該技術可以進行"種族歧視"，並導致誤判罪犯身份。
Businessman James L. Dolan, owner of the New York Knicks and entertainment venues, has been criticized for his uses of facial recognition technology at Madison Square Garden. Dolan used facial recognition to create an "exclusion list," keeping personal enemies out of his venue, according to the New York Times. This included lawyers employed by law firms engaged in lawsuits against his companies.
商人詹姆斯·L·多蘭擁有紐約尼克斯隊和娛樂場所，他因在麥迪遜廣場花園使用人臉識別技術而受到批評。據《紐約時報》報道，多蘭使用人臉識別技術創建了一個"排除名單"，讓個人的敵人無法進入他的場館，其中包括代表正在起訴他公司的律師。
The technology has also attracted regulatory attention from lawmakers. Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA) penned a New York Times guest essay in 2023 arguing for close regulation of AI-powered facial recognition. On the flip side, some states such as Washington have proposed using facial recognition for alcohol or cannabis purchases.
該技術還吸引了立法者的關注。國會議員Ted Lieu（D-CA）在2023年爲《紐約時報》撰寫了一篇客座評論文章，主張對基於人工智能的人臉識別技術進行密切監管。而另一方面，一些州，比如華盛頓州，已經提議使用人臉識別技術購買酒精或大麻股。
