Fears of 'digital dictatorship' as Myanmar deploys AI
Protesters fear they are being tracked by cameras armed with facial recognition technology
Protesters in Myanmar fear they are being tracked with Chinese facial recognition technology, as spiralling violence and street surveillance spark fears of a "digital dictatorship" to replace ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Human rights groups say the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to check on citizens' movements poses a "serious threat" to their liberty.
More than 200 people have been killed since Nobel peace laureate Suu Kyi was overthrown in a Feb. 1 coup, triggering mass protests that security forces have struggled to suppress with increasingly violent tactics.
Security forces have focused on stamping out dissent in cities including the capital Naypyitaw, Yangon and Mandalay, where hundreds of CCTV cameras had been installed as part of a drive to improve governance and curb crime.

Surveillance Camera Statistics: Which City has the Most CCTV Cameras?
Cities in China are under the heaviest CCTV surveillance in the world, according to a new analysis by Comparitech. But globally, many more cities are under increasing amounts of surveillance.
In 2019, IHS Markit predicted that there would be 1 billion surveillance cameras worldwide by the end of 2021. In 2017, it also suggested China would have 626 million cameras within three years, which is further supported by reports that the country has around 600 million cameras within its Skynet project.
