China just built cameras that can think
👁️ China just built cameras that can think.
When I first read this, I had to pause. Not because it’s another story about surveillance, but because it shows how AI is quietly changing the very nature of sight.
China’s new network of over 170 million smart cameras, soon to reach 400 million, can now identify faces, track movement, and predict behavior in real time.
What makes it extraordinary:
→ Recognizes individuals across cities within seconds
→ Connects to national ID databases
→ Learns and predicts behavioral patterns
→ Operates autonomously, 24/7
Imagine cities where crimes are stopped before they happen, lost children are found instantly, and safety feels absolute.
But also, societies where every moment is observed, recorded, and remembered.
We’ve taught machines to see.
Now we must decide how human their vision should be.
Would you live in a city that watches everything if it promised perfect safety?
