I don't think technology is the solution here. In fact, it is much more the problem here – an abundance of surveillance technology projects like this one will only result in more surveillance, not less. The average Joe doesn't care about the technology stack the surveillance camera[0] on the subway is running on. Instead, the mere presence of the camera will cause him to have a feeling of being watched and, thus, to behave differently.

The solution can only be a political one: Restrict the usage of AI in surveillance technology.
