Speculation around artificial intelligence quietly policing Cape Town's roads has been gaining traction recently. But City officials have moved to temper expectations, and concerns, making it clear that while technology is reshaping enforcement, a blanket rollout of AI-powered traffic cameras is not on the table, Cape townEtc reports.
There is no plan for a mass rollout of AI cameras, Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith, said, addressing growing public curiosity around the City's use of advanced enforcement tools.
At the same time, he signalled that future possibilities remain open. We cannot discount the possibility that AI will play a bigger role in this, and other means of enforcement in the future.
