• Nome: Ciudad Segura (México)
• Área de aplicação: Policiamento
• Que tipo de IA de acordo com as informações oficiais do projeto: Facial Recognition and Predictive Policing

• Objetivos: “Not only be able to monitor and follow the track of a criminal, but also prevent crimes through video surveillance systems that use artificial intelligence in order to prevent a criminal from completing a crime”, according to Jean Marie Letort, vice president of Thales Security Board.

• Como funciona de acordo com as informações oficiais do projeto: In 2019, Thales won a request for proposal with the government of Mexico City to amplify the project Ciudad Segura and deploy AI systems to support and assist Mexico City’s C5 (Command, Control, Computing, Communications and Citizen Contact Center). Telmex and Cisco were also part of the project to modernize the network of cameras and WiFi spots.

• Possível tendência: Stigmatization, discrimination, and criminalization of most vulnerable people. Furthermore, investigative journalists have pointed out that all that investment in tech is not necessarily helping to prevent crime or help victims obtain justice, therefore, it’s likely that the deployment of such tools only help mascarade the problem, particularly for those that have systematically been excluded from access to justice.

• Instituições públicas envolvidas: Centro de Comando, Control, Cómputo, Comunicaciones y Contacto Ciudadano de la Ciudad de México – C5

• Empresas/instituições privadas envolvidas: Thales, Telmex, Cisco

• Outros fatos interessantes: This kind of facial recognition and predictive policing using AI is being deployed in several C5 across the country:
