Fuck AI

This is what happens when AI is tasked with surveillance.

Although AI involvement is not mentioned in the article, this quote might implicate that AI recognition could have been used:

“It’s got the incorrect date of birth, then it’s got a description of me, which says I have hat hair, which I found quite odd,” he said.

The problem with all that is that the whole process seems to be automated and that it hardly can be interrupted with human intervention.

Jones is also concerned the same thing might happen to somebody else who may not have the capacity to challenge the fine.

This indeed is concerning, as it already is challenging sometimes to deal with authorities, even when AI is not involved at all.
