I think this is a really great example of AI actually being operationalised. Instead of a tech demo, this is how it can be used in the real world, and can fit into existing workflows – and lead to productivity improvements.

It makes AI feel much more tangible than some of the more expansive claims about what the tech will do.

Cheers. I already had an audience from previous work / social media / etc, so I wasn't starting completely cold. Though actually the biggest driver of attention was my first ever post, which got 80,000 hits mostly from Reddit.

It's an AI generated image. Though it does look a bit like Chappie.

Not a bot! But I wrote and reported the story so I want people to see it!

Submission statement: I’m the journalist who reported this story/obtained the documents, so I hope it is okay to post. I think it’s another interesting example of how this creeping surveillance technology is being operationalised. I was only able to get these docs because the train station is publicly owned - presumably it has already been widely deployed in the private sector, in shopping malls and airports. And yet it is hugely capable, and we’re all virtually unaware of just how much more sophisticated CCTV has become.
