Human rights organization Amnesty International mapped the location of more than 15,000 cameras in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, used for surveillance and facial recognition searches by the New York Police Department, Wired reports. The cameras have been used in nearly 22,000 facial recognition searches since 2017. “Whether you’re attending a protest, walking to a particular neighborhood, or even just grocery shopping, your face can be tracked by facial recognition technology using imagery from thousands of camera points across New York,” said AI Researcher Matt Mahmoudi.
